‼️ We will not be holding any equine sessions until this artic blast leaves which may be here for well over a week😅

HOWEVER, my office is still nice and toasty😉

Fun fact: Horses generate body heat from eating mainly through digestion and metabolism. When a horse eats, its body breaks down feed to release energy. A large part of this happens in the hindgut, where microbes ferment fibrous feeds like hay. This fermentation process produces heat as a byproduct, helping warm the horse from the inside. They have their own internal furnace! Our horses have access to 24/7 hay, fresh unfrozen water and are blanketed/inside as needed to help get them through this cold snap.

Hope everyone stays safe and stays warm!

Happy New Year everyone!✨

While I have very much been slacking on sharing about this, our food drive is still going on! So far we have collected about 5 bags of non-perishables which will be donated to The Grateful Shed in Frankford!

If anyone would like to donate, please be sure to get me your items within the next week however, I am more than happy to drop them off at a later date.

Thank you everyone who has supported this cause through either food or monetary donations! No amount is too small!🤍

Happy Holidays from our herd to yours!❤️

(Tucker was disinterested in participating on photoshoot day so he got his own private one🤭)

Happy National Day of the Horse to our amazing horses Dually, Rudy, Odin, Tucker, Kasey and Chase! They are an essential part of the team and we couldn’t do what we do without them!🤍

‼️All in-person sessions are being held virtually!

While we are here holding down the fort taking care of horses, all sessions will be virtual today. Everyone here is inside munching on their hay bags and enjoying a little break and we hope you are too.. but maybe enjoying YOUR favorite food😉

In-person sessions will resume tomorrow. Stay safe, warm and don’t forget to take a moment to appreciate the quiet stillness that the snow brings

This was such a wonderful event yesterday! It’s an honor to be a part of their veterans support network🤍

If anyone is in need of any additional support, MHA offers so many different programs across every county in NJ!

For anyone who celebrates, have a happy, safe Halloween! 👻🕷️🕸️

As a result of the recent threat to pause SNAP benefits, even more families in our community will struggle to meet one of the most fundamental human needs: food.

According to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, our basic needs like food, water, and shelter must be met before we can focus on emotional well-being, growth, or healing. When people face food insecurity, it can deeply impact mental health, increasing stress, anxiety, and hopelessness.

In previous roles, I have seen firsthand the importance of SNAP along with other community programs. There are so many families out there who work hard, do whatever they need to do and STILL cannot make ends meet.

This month, we will be collecting non-perishable food donations to support our local food pantries. Every can, box and bag helps nourish both body and mind.

Please reach out if you would like to donate so we can arrange a pick-up or drop off. For anyone who comes to the barn, there will be a box to put your donations.
Monetary donations or grocery gift cards are also welcome.
However, we ask: Please do not drop off without scheduling with us first so we can protect client's privacy!

Together, we can help meet these basic needs and remind our neighbors that they are not alone. While we may not be able to eradicate world hunger, we can help make sure someone's kids don't go to bed hungry tonight.
