💙 World Autism Awareness Day 💙

Today we celebrate the unique strengths, perspectives, and potential of individuals on the autism spectrum. At Taking the Lead, hippotherapy helps support riders with autism by improving balance, coordination, communication, and self-regulation through the natural movement of the horse. 🐴

Beyond the physical benefits, the connection between horse and rider builds confidence, trust, and calm—creating meaningful moments of growth in every session.

🐴 No April Fools here — this one is real!

This April 1, we’re celebrating Indy, one of our amazing therapy horses. When he was just six months old, Indy was scheduled to go to a kill pen before being rescued and eventually finding his way to our farm.

Today, Indy helps our clients build confidence, coordination, and teamwork. He’s calm, reliable, and even clever enough to press a button that says “please feed me!” 😄

We’re so grateful for Indy and the many smiles and milestones he helps create every day. 💙

🐰 Meet Fuzzy Wuzzy!

We’re excited to welcome Fuzzy Wuzzy, the newest therapy bunny at Taking the Lead! He joins Bolt, and the two are already best buddies—cuddling, sharing snacks, and bringing extra warmth to our space.

Bunnies make wonderful therapy animals. Their calm, gentle nature helps clients feel at ease while building confidence, patience, and nurturing skills through quiet interaction and care.

We can’t wait to see Bolt and Fuzzy Wuzzy continue spreading comfort, connection, and a little extra joy each day. Sometimes the smallest paws leave the biggest prints on our hearts. 💛🐇
