We've recovered from our first ever family Fall Fest, which we're happy to report was a great success! Huge thanks to our 85 attendees--thanks to you, we now have $1685 to support the health and happiness of our equine partners. We'll use these funds for food, veterinary care, and other enrichment activities.

A huge thanks also goes out to the band, the donors, volunteers, and businesses that helped us put this fundraiser together.

If you're interested in helping us plan next year's event -- or if you want to know more about the program and our work, drop a comment or send us a DM. We'd love to hear from you!
