New Beginnings Therapeutic Riding

02/25/2026

With heavy hearts, we said goodbye to our sweet Stormy on February 18th.

Stormy was diagnosed with DSLD, an incurable and progressive connective tissue disease. While we were able to keep her comfortable in the barn for a time, we knew her ligaments would continue to weaken and tear, causing increasing pain and long-term lameness.

Because we love her, we chose to let her go before her suffering grew worse. It was the hardest decision — but the most compassionate one.

Stormy gave so much during her time at New Beginnings Therapeutic Riding. She carried our riders gently, offered quiet strength, and taught lessons far beyond the arena. Her presence was calm, steady, and full of grace.

The evening we let her go, the sunset that followed was absolutely beautiful — almost magical. It felt like heaven itself was welcoming her home.

We believe Stormy was received with open arms at Rainbow Bridge, reunited with the other beloved New Beginnings horses who have gone before her.

Run free, sweet girl. Your work here was done, and you did it so well.

You will forever be part of our herd, our hearts, and our mission.

Please feel free to share your love for Stormy in the comments. We'd love for you to share pictures of her & any stories you have.

💛🌈🐴

❤️ 456 Hearts. ❤️

Because of YOU, 456 hearts were purchased during our Hearts for Horses campaign — and we truly cannot thank you enough.

Each heart tells a story.

Hearts honoring beloved horses who have crossed the rainbow bridge.
Hearts remembering cherished pets and animals.
Hearts dedicated to family members.
Hearts written for our very own horses here at the barn.
Every single one was given with love — and we felt that love covering our entire wall.

Your generosity, kindness, and willingness to support New Beginnings means more than words can express. Our horses are cared for because of you. Our riders are served because of you.

From the bottom of our hearts… thank you. ❤️🐴

So many hearts we had to stack hearts, on hearts, on hearts!

This Valentine’s Day, we want to honor a love story that truly defines what love is meant to be. 💖

Ernie is our oldest volunteer, and without a doubt one of the sweetest souls you will ever meet. He has been married to his wife, Ginny, for 56 years — and his love for her is something straight out of a storybook.

Every single day, Ernie visits Ginny at the nursing home. He often brings their dog along so others can experience a little comfort and joy through therapy visits. His devotion, kindness, and quiet strength remind us that real love shows up — consistently, patiently, and selflessly.

Ernie’s love for Ginny is the kind of love we all hope to give and receive in this lifetime. ❤️

As we close out our Hearts for Horses campaign, we couldn’t imagine a more meaningful way to do so than by honoring a man whose heart is so full of love — for his wife, for others, and for this place we call home.

Thank you, Ernie, for being you. Thank you for loving so deeply. And thank you to everyone who filled our board with hearts and helped us spread love where it matters most. 🐴💕
