Sensory Trail Update 🌿🐴

We’re excited to see this space continue to come together, and it’s been encouraging to watch both horses and riders enjoy this wonderful environment as it takes shape.

The sensory trail is being thoughtfully developed with features that support balance, focus, confidence, and body awareness. Natural textures, gentle changes in terrain, visual elements, and a calm outdoor setting are coming together to create meaningful experiences that support our therapeutic goals.

With each improvement, we’re one step closer to completing this beautiful and supportive space for our riders and horses. We’re excited to see this vision continue to come to life at M.A.R.E. 🤍🐴

As we reflect on this year and look ahead to what’s next, we’re reminded how M.A.R.E. began 35 years ago with one horse named Tana, a young man who needed hope, and a woman with a dream. From that small beginning grew a mission that continues to change lives through horses.

As we prepare to step into a new year, we invite 100 supporters to help carry this legacy forward by pledging $35/month for one year. Together, we can honor where M.A.R.E. started and ensure this important work continues for years to come. 🐴🤍

M.A.R.E. wouldn’t be what it is without the people 💙

From instructors and volunteers to families and supporters, it takes a whole community to make M.A.R.E. special. Every smile, helping hand, and moment of encouragement adds up to something truly meaningful.

We are so grateful for the people who show up, care deeply, and help create a welcoming space for riders, horses, and everyone who walks through our gates 🤍

Horses deserve awards too 🐴🏅

At our horse show, we loved taking a moment to celebrate the animals who make everything possible at M.A.R.E.

Runner was named our Horse of the Year, and Cricket received our first ever Tana’s Legacy Award.

These horses show up every day with patience, heart, and steady energy. We are so thankful for all that they give and for the impact they make on our riders and programs 🤍

With grateful hearts, we were honored to present a Lifetime Achievement Award recognizing over 30 years of dedicated service to M.A.R.E. Riding Center to Judy Hillburn 💙🐴

Judy’s decades of commitment through Occupational Therapy have touched countless lives. Her expertise, compassion, and steady care have made a lasting impact on our riders, our horses, and our entire M.A.R.E. community.

This award is a small token of our deep appreciation for the time, heart, and dedication Judy has so generously shared. M.A.R.E. is stronger, kinder, and better because of her.

Thank you, Judy, for all that you have given and continue to give. We are truly grateful 🤍
