Today, our hearts are full. ♥️
On this Thanksgiving day, we pause to acknowledge the people who make Partners for Progress what it truly is, a place of purpose, connection, growth, and transformation.

To the families who entrust us with your loved ones:
Thank you for your courage, your faith in our mission, and your belief in the power of equine therapy. 🐎

To the volunteers who give your hands, your time, and your hearts:
Thank you for showing up for every stride, every breakthrough, and every quiet moment of encouragement. You turn challenges into milestones. 🌟

To the friends and supporters who stand beside us year after year:
Thank you for fueling the momentum behind our programs, our horses, and our clients. Your generosity strengthens our entire foundation. 🤝

To our community:
Thank you for seeing the beauty in inclusion, dignity, and perseverance, and for recognizing that progress is built together. 💪

This year, we have witnessed transformation in many forms: a first independent step in the arena, a new word spoken, a friend made, a goal reached. These moments may look small, but to us, they carry the weight of hope. And every single one of them is the result of a village that cares.

There is a spirit at PFP that cannot be measured, only felt. And on days like this, it feels especially strong. 💚

From all of us at Partners for Progress: Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃
May today be filled with gratitude, joy, and the reminder that when hearts come together, progress follows. ☺️

'Tis the Season of Giving! 🎉

With Black Friday right around the corner, please remember that a big impact doesn’t always require a big gift. Sometimes it’s a bottle of shampoo, a pack of gloves, or one piece of adaptive equipment that creates a breakthrough moment. 🛍️

Our volunteers give generously every single week.
They give their time. ⏰
They give their energy. ⚡️
They give their hearts. 💚
They give, and they don’t ask for anything in return.

But the truth is this: their generosity can only go as far as our resources allow. Keeping the lights on, securing the necessary equipment and supplies, sustaining our programs…That part belongs to all of us.

If you’ve ever been inspired by what happens at Partners for Progress, if you’ve ever seen a breakthrough in our arena, if you’ve ever witnessed the impact of a volunteer’s kindness, then we invite you to support us as we close out 2025.

This Giving Season, stand with our volunteers:
Match their generosity with your own.

🎃🐴 Happy Halloween from Partners for Progress! 👻✨

This week, our barn transformed into a spooktacular celebration as riders trick-or-treated around the stalls, collecting candy, stickers, and smiles along the way! Each horse’s stall was decked out with festive treats, and our riders showed up in the most adorable costumes. 🧙‍♀️

It’s always a joy to see our riders’ creativity and confidence shine in every costume and every smile! Happy Halloween! 🧡

🌟 What an unforgettable week at the All American Quarter Horse Congress! 🌟

Behind every shining show moment lies countless hours of hard work, preparation, and heart. For the PFP Show Team, the journey began at 9:00 PM, loading up trailers filled with horses, saddles, feed, tack, and everything needed to care for both our riders and our four-legged teammates. With every detail checked and every tail packed, we hit the road for a 6½-hour overnight drive to Columbus, Ohio, determined to make this an experience our riders would never forget.

By sunrise, our team was unloading horses, setting up stalls, organizing equipment, and transforming our little corner of Congress into “home” for the week, complete with a stall for tacking, one for the girls’ gear, and one for the boys’, etc. From there, the real work began. Each day was filled with riding practice, lunging sessions, polishing skills, and preparing for classes, all while cheering one another on and caring for our amazing horses.

We were also honored to attend the Equestrians With Disabilities (EWD) Dinner, where riders from across the country gathered to celebrate inclusion, growth, and the power of possibility. The EWD division continues to grow, and we are so proud to play a part in its success and representation at this world-class event.

It takes six days of dedication, teamwork, late nights, and early mornings to make horse shows like this possible, and we wouldn’t trade a second of it. 💚

Thank you to our riders, families, volunteers, and staff for making this journey extraordinary. You embody everything that makes Partners for Progress what it is: community, courage, and compassion in motion. 🐴✨
