Victory Hill Therapeutic Horsemanship

Spring is a WONDERFUL time to be at the barn! The birds are chirping and building their nests. The color is coming back to the trees and trail. The lush, green grasses are starting to return.

Luckily, we still have several openings for equine assisted lessons in Session 2- which runs from March 2nd through April 17th!

Our sessions offer participants the chance to build confidence, develop skills, and experience the healing connection with our horses through individualized, supportive instruction. The barn is full of energy this time of year, and it’s a perfect opportunity to grow, learn, and spend meaningful time here.

🌿 While the Summer schedule always fills very quickly, there’s no need to wait — secure your spot now and enjoy all the benefits of being at Victory Hill this spring.

If you’ve been thinking about signing up, this is the perfect time to join us!

💖🐴 THANK YOU for Feeling the Love at Victory Hill! 🐴💖

Our Feel the Love Valentine’s Day campaign was SO much fun, and our hearts (and barn!) are so full. Thank you to everyone who purchased a heart, shared a message, and dedicated one of our amazing animals as their Valentine. Seeing the barn filled with heartfelt notes, names, and love for our horses and animals was truly special.

Each heart represents kindness, connection, and support for the mission of Victory Hill—and your generosity helps us continue caring for the animals who give so much to our community every single day.

Take a look at the photos below to see the beautiful hearts displayed in the barn and the animals who were lucky enough to be someone’s Valentine 💕 Thank you for showing our herd just how loved they are!

🐾💘 We are endlessly grateful for this incredible community.

If you would like to continue to spread the love, a great way to do so is purchasing one or several items from our Amazon Wishlist!

Purchasing from our Wishlist is a great way to directly support Victory Hill's daily costs, and you get to pick a *physical item* to do so!

We are so proud of our dedicated staff and volunteers and their true hearts of service! Last night, three of our staff members and our star volunteer, Donna, volunteered at Goodwill Church’s Night To Shine prom! Such a special night seeing many of our beloved participants dancing the night away and having the best time!

The barn is brightening up! 💖

It has been so moving to see the hearts filling up our walls, each one a glowing reminder of the incredible community behind us.

But we aren't done yet—help us continue our quest to cover the barn in love! 🐴💕

We are so close to our goal! We are just $155 away from reaching our $750 target. Won't you consider helping us bridge that gap?

At Victory Hill, love is what warms the barn—no matter how cold it gets outside. For just $10, you can join the display and help us reach the finish line. Your gift provides the essential "fuel" for our mission—from hay and farrier visits for our rescue horses to the life-changing programs we provide for veterans, first responders, and children with special needs.

Help us add more hearts to our walls:

🌸 Add Your Heart ($10): We’ll hand-write your name on a physical heart and add it to our growing display.
🌸 Honor Your Favorites: Dedicate your heart to a special horse, a family member, or a friend.
🌸 Make an Impact: Your small gift ensures our mission stays strong and our horses stay healthy.

Together, let's make this the most "heart-filled" Valentine's Day Victory Hill has ever seen. We can’t wait to see your name shining on our wall this Saturday! 💓

The barn walls are starting to look a lot like Valentine’s Day! ❤️

A couple of weeks ago, we asked for your help to fill the Victory Hill barn with hearts—and you certainly showed up! Every heart we pin to these stable walls represents another day of care for our rescue herd and another session of healing for our students.

Can you help us reach the finish line?

Our goal is to have the entire barn "covered in hearts" by February 14th. We still have plenty of room, and we’d love to see your favorite horses name (or your name!) on our wall.

✨ How it works: For just $10, you can dedicate a heart to: 🐴 A favorite horse ❤️ A loved one 🐾 A friend (furry or otherwise!)

It’s a small gift that provides the essential support we need to keep our mission thriving.

We would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to the Pennsylvania National Horse Show Foundation for their generous grant in support of Victory Hill!🐴💙

This funding will help offset essential horse care expenses—including veterinary services, farrier care, and medications—ensuring our horses remain healthy, comfortable, and thriving. To put this into perspective, we spend over $4,300 annually on medications alone to keep our horses healthy and well, not including their regular feed and hay expenses.

The PNHS's commitment to equine welfare and community impact makes a meaningful difference for our program. Because of partners like you, our horses can continue doing what they do best—supporting our riders, participants, and community every single day.

✨ If anyone would like to contribute, please visit our "Sponsor a Horse" page on our website- https://victoryhillth.org/sponsor-a-horse-program/ This is a fantastic way to directly give support to our horses and animals!

Thank you, Pennsylvania National Horse Show Foundation, for investing in the heart of Victory Hill! 💙🐎

Our horses give so much of themselves to our riders, and caring for their bodies is an essential part of honoring that partnership. In the barn, our team works hands-on with each horse—guiding gentle stretches, promoting relaxation, and using an equine massage gun to support muscle recovery, circulation, and comfort.

This intentional bodywork helps our horses stay happy, healthy, and ready to do the important work they love. When our horses feel their best, they can continue to provide safe, supportive, and meaningful experiences for every participant who walks through our gates.

Because at Victory Hill, the well-being of our horses comes first—always. 🐎✨
