Ponies are magic for toddlers—especially in the terrible twos 🐴💛

Their calm, steady nature helps little ones regulate big emotions, learn gentle boundaries, and build confidence without power struggles. Brushing, walking, and caring for a pony gives toddlers independence, empathy, and a sense of calm—all while burning energy in a healthy way.

Big feelings + small ponies = a beautiful match

The heat has been tough this week! Chance soaked up the love while providing a sensory activity during a therapy session.

Engaging in sensory activities while discussing tough topics can offer significant psychological and emotional benefits. These activities help create a supportive environment, reduce stress, and improve communication, making it easier for individuals to process and express challenging emotions.

**Important Update from Hoof Prints**

Hoof Prints is not closing, but we are scaling back our services. Moving forward, we will only serve a small client base, seen exclusively by Karah Cain, MA, LPC. This decision allows us to return our barn to a peaceful sanctuary for our family. While we are saddened to make this change, it is a necessary and much-needed step. Thank you for your understanding. We truly appreciate Michelle and the dedication she has to clients of Hoof Prints. The change is set for August 2025 to allow clients time to process this change and identify continued service providers.
