Summit Equestrian Center Vision: A community where the bond between horses & individuals changes lives. Interested in volunteering?

Mission: We are the connection between the healing power of the horse & individuals who have physical or cognitive needs. We have many friends to take care of on the farm, and as the saying goes, "many hands make light work". We would love to meet you and learn about your unique gifts that would add to our team here at Summit. Whether you just want to be a side walker during lessons, groundskeeper, feeder or organizer, we have a place for you.

Mutual grooming isn’t just “scratching each other’s itches.”
It’s one of the deepest signs of trust horses share — a quiet way of saying you’re safe with me, I’ve got you.
Watching Dolly and Lakota take a moment together in the shed is a reminder of how connection heals, comforts, and strengthens bonds… for horses and humans alike.

No rush, no agenda… just quiet steps through the pasture, the sound of grazing, and a whole lot of peace. This is the good stuff. 🌿🐴

We weren’t prepared for the wave of emotion that hit when we opened this.

Seeing that little card… and a piece of our boy, Rowdy… it brought us straight to tears. 💔💛

Thank you, The Farm Micro Sanctuary, for sending us a part of him to hold onto. It may seem like something small, but to us, it’s everything. It’s a connection, a comfort, a reminder of the “little man” who left such a big mark on our hearts.

There’s a deep kind of peace in knowing he was safe, and so deeply loved. That matters more than words can ever fully say.

From the bottom of our hearts—thank you for loving him the way he deserved, and for giving us this piece of him to treasure. 🐴✨

Two veterans, one very patient horse, and a grooming session that turned into a full team operation.
There’s something special about watching people work together around a horse — the quiet communication, the shared focus, the small wins that add up.
These moments matter, and they’re doing the work.

Today we had the privilege of welcoming Mike back from the Honor Flight Northeast Indiana — a powerful, all‑expenses‑paid trip that gives U.S. military veterans the opportunity to visit the war memorials in Washington, D.C. Veterans apply for selection, with priority given to those from WWII through the Vietnam era who haven’t yet had the chance to see their memorials.

These flights take veterans to places like the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery — moments filled with reflection, honor, and deep meaning.
And when Mike’s plane touched down, our Summit veterans and staff were right there to greet him with cheers, gratitude, and a whole lot of pride. The smiles in these photos and videos say everything.

Mike, we are so proud of you. Thank you for your service, your heart, and the way you continue to strengthen this community. Thank you for the humor, the laughs, and the entertainment you bring with you to the barn. You make every day here a little brighter.

Welcome home. 🇺🇸❤️

Not the ground work they expected… but definitely the ground work they needed.
Our veterans tackled a hoof‑parts challenge today, working together to piece everything into place. Lots of laughs, lots of learning, and a whole new appreciation for just how much goes into caring for a horse from the ground up.
Because ground work isn’t just about moving the horse — it’s about understanding them, respecting them, and knowing how to keep them healthy and sound.
This group showed up and gave it their all. Proud of them. 💙🐴

With bits in their hands to help them better understand rein placement and communication, you could really see the focus, determination, and trust building between horse and rider. It’s not just about learning where the reins go—it’s about confidence, connection, and finding a sense of calm in the process.

Every ride is a step forward, and moments like these are why we do what we do. So proud of each and every one of them. 💙🐴

It’s Volunteer Appreciation Week, and we just want to take a moment to say THANK YOU to our incredible Summit volunteers 💛

You are the heart of everything we do. From early mornings at the barn to late evenings, from lending a hand wherever it’s needed to showing up with patience, kindness, and a willingness to help—none of it goes unnoticed.

Because of you, our horses are cared for, our riders are supported, and our community continues to grow stronger every single day. Whether you’re holding a lead rope, filling water buckets, organizing events, or just jumping in wherever needed… you make a difference.

We are so lucky to have each and every one of you as part of the Summit family. Thank you for your time, your energy, and your big hearts.

We appreciate you more than words can say 💙🐴

Nick set out to learn horse anatomy today… and Nugget ended up covered in sticky notes from nose to tail 😂

To be fair, Nick nailed every single one — and Nugget just stood there like, “this is my life now.”

Honestly though, what a good sport. Not every horse would tolerate becoming a full-on labeled diagram 🤣

Safe to say the lesson stuck… for both of them.

Is this:
A. A riding lesson
B. A groundwork demo
C. A yoga pose she absolutely made up on the spot
D. The moment SJ realized teaching body position without a horse is basically an extreme sport
Honestly… what do YOU think she was trying to show here?

Just a bunch of happy horses doing what they do best—grazing, relaxing, and enjoying the good life out in the pasture 🌿🐴

Nothing fancy, just peaceful moments
