Our hearts are broken as we grieve the loss of our long time student, Hunter. We shared a love for the outdoors for over 20 years. Hunter touched the lives of many volunteers, staff, fellow students, and their families. Pics of Hunter and Lucy when they were both under 10 years old!

We are excited to share the progress of the New Equine Facility! The Milestone construction team is hard at work! This state-of-the-art barn will provide the opportunity for year-round programming, therapeutic services, educational clinics, and community events. With enhanced indoor space, modern amenities, and improved accessibility, this facility will allow Granite State to serve more participants in all seasons — rain, snow, or shine!
