At Leg Up Farm, we often see how clients benefit from paying attention to what they can influence rather than what is out of their hands. Focusing on controllable actions like posture, breathing, or participation; helps the body and mind feel grounded and empowered. Letting go of things we cannot change can reduce stress and create space for learning, connection, and growth. Even small choices remind us that we have agency and can respond thoughtfully to each moment.

A heartfelt thank you to Ben Kessler and our friends at W&S Landscape Services for partnering with us alongside Lisé C. Miller to beautifully transform the walkway and Robert's bridge into Matthew’s Town.

Through their collaboration and care, this space is now not only refreshed, but more accessible for all. As part of this thoughtful redesign, the boards on the bridge were removed, and Lisé hand-painted faux boards on the ground, preserving the look while eliminating barriers for those we serve.

We are so grateful for partners who help us create inclusive, welcoming spaces where everyone can thrive!

💙 Volunteer Spotlight: Tiffany Root 💙

Tiffany has been volunteering with Leg Up Farm for just a few months, but has already made a meaningful connection to our mission. She was introduced through a friend and quickly felt drawn to supporting the instructors, horses, and individuals receiving therapy, all working together in one place.

What stands out most to her is the impact:
seeing progress, happiness, and independence grow in the individuals we serve. Tiffany describes her experience as “humbling,” and says volunteering has been therapeutic for her as well, grounding her through the connection between people and horses.

While she loves all the horses, Joey and Nickel hold a special place in her heart for their personality and honesty.

Tiffany, thank you for jumping in with such heart and care, we’re so glad you’re here!

Volunteer Spotlight: Eliana Fetters

Eliana has been volunteering with Leg Up Farm for the past 3 years, after first learning about us through a family connection, her cousin once received sensory therapy here.

What started as a high school internship opportunity quickly grew into something much more meaningful, as she discovered her passion for both horses and helping others.

Eliana shares that what resonates most is the heart of our mission: a caring, dedicated community working together to support individuals and families through meaningful therapy and connection.

For her, volunteering has been both educational and inspiring, growing her knowledge of horse care while deepening her passion for service and connection.
One of her favorite parts is getting to know each horse’s unique personality, quirks, and progress. And a moment that stood out most was taking a student outdoors and seeing the pure joy it brought them.

Eliana, thank you for your curiosity, compassion, and the care you bring to every experience at Leg Up Farm!

Learning Thursdays: The Power of Routine.

Routines do more than keep your day on track, they help children feel safe, regulated, and confident.

Consistent routines can:
- Reduce anxiety & improve transitions
- Build independence
- Support emotional regulation

Try this:
- Keep mornings & bedtimes predictable
- Use simple visual schedules
- Give gentle warnings before transitions (“5 more minutes!”)

When children know what to expect, they’re better able to succeed.

💙 Volunteer Spotlight: Susan Smith 💙

Susan has been volunteering with Leg Up Farm since 2021, returning to the barn after originally training before COVID. With a lifelong love of horses and a strong background in nonprofit work, she was drawn to our mission both personally and professionally.

Susan's connection runs even deeper, having family members with special needs makes the impact of therapeutic services especially meaningful to her. For Susan, volunteering is both rewarding and grounding. She enjoys the hands-on barn work, building relationships with clients, and getting to know each horse’s unique personality.

What stands out most? The moments that stick with her long after she leaves the farm: clients recognizing her outside of Leg Up Farm and running over for a hug, simple reminders of the connections built here.

Susan, thank you for your dedication, heart, and the difference you make every day at Leg Up Farm!

Unmounted sessions give participants the chance to build trust with a horse in a safe, controlled environment. By learning to approach, lead, and interact respectfully, individuals discover how consistency, patience, and clear communication create strong, reliable relationships.

These moments of connection teach participants to read nonverbal cues, respond with care, and develop confidence in themselves and others. In equine-assisted therapy, grounding trust on the ground lays the foundation for meaningful growth—both in the arena and in life.
