In Step With Horses

Wishing a happy retirement to our special friend, Chavo! 🦄

Chavo joined our program in October 2023. With his gentle, laid-back demeanor and goofy personality, he quickly became a barn favorite. Chavo has been a dependable partner for anything we throw at him, whether it be vaulting, riding, or ground lessons. He knows to be patient and how to provide just the right challenge to instill a sense of achievement and empowerment. And, most importantly, Chavo loves his people.

Earlier this month Chavo returned home to his sponsor. He will be living out his best life at home with plenty of cookies and mud puddles!

Thank you for being such an integral part of our program and for changing so many lives. There is no doubt that you have left hoofprints on our hearts!

Many teens like Eva want to ride. The calming nature of a horse and the challenge of learning a complex sport appeal to many. The connection with a favorite horse starts the therapeutic experience in their body, without a focus on talking through past and future challenges.

Our farm provides the perfect sanctuary for people to balance their mental health. It offers a safe place for young people and adults to build healthy connections with the help of our caring staff and therapy animals.

Your gift today will help more people like Eva access the healing power of horses and nature. Will you help others Take the Next Step to Wellness? 💙

Eva began her journey at In Step With Horses in 2023 to help manage symptoms from anxiety and depression as well as to build her self-confidence in social situations. Today, she is able to manage her anxiety and utilize coping skills she has learned with the animals to improve her confidence in social situations. Caring for and connecting with the horses helps Eva to recognize and release any negative energy she may be holding. It also alleviates her migraine symptoms.

The horse-human connection truly is transformative. Our equine partners teach us how to be present and introspective while simultaneously building trust and confidence. 💙

Service in the military changes you, instills patterns of behavior and thought, and may leave a mark; work with horses can do the same. 💙

On this Veterans Day, we'd like to recognize and honor all of our veterans. Your sacrifice is not lost on us.

As we reflect on this day, we are reminded that healing occurs with connection. Interested in learning how horses can be part of that journey? Email or call us for more information on our free Veterans group.

True healing begins in the silent space between a horse and a human... 💙

As we head into another busy week, remember that taking care of yourself is ALWAYS productive. Even things like resting, cooking a nutritious meal, going for a walk, or spending time with loved ones can have a significant impact on your overall well-being. 💙

What is one thing you are going to do for yourself this week?
