Sid got LOTS of Valentine’s love this weekend! 💋🐴

At Making Strides Foundation, we’re so grateful for the big hearts in our barn — the kids who show up brave, the families who cheer them on, and volunteers and horses like Sid who help every child feel strong and special.

We hope your weekend has been filled with just as much joy and heart! ❤️

Snowy days at the barn have a special kind of magic ❄️✨ Our horses have been loving their time outdoors, bundled up and enjoying the quiet beauty of the season.

While this seasonal chill brings a lighter schedule, we truly miss seeing our adaptive riding and EAL clients as often during these winter weeks. We’re counting down the days until warmer weather returns and the barn is buzzing again with adaptive riding and therapy sessions, familiar faces, and lots of smiles.

Pampered Ponies Night

This past week, our staff and volunteers spent time loving on our therapy horses during the winter season. With colder weather and a lighter schedule, the evening focused on enrichment and connection—pairing volunteers with our horses for structured grooming, gentle movement, stretching, and ThermaPlate treatments. The barn was calm and purposeful, filled with well-deserved attention for the horses who give so much all year long.

As we look ahead to spring sessions, volunteer support remains essential to keeping our program running. Opportunities like this—and during regular lessons—are a meaningful way to be part of our barn community.

❄️ Weather Update ❄️

Due to this week’s winter weather, all in-person lessons are cancelled to keep our riders, families, staff and horses safe.

The good news? Learning doesn’t have to stop! We’ve put together fun at-home activity packets to help riders stay connected to horses and keep building skills.
