Dear friends, supporters, and community members,
After much reflection and with heavy hearts, we are announcing that Inspired Acres will be permanently closing its doors at the end of June.

This has been an incredibly difficult decision. We’ve had the privilege of serving individuals of all abilities, veterans, caregivers, and families through therapeutic recreation, adaptive horsemanship, and community-building programs. We are deeply proud of the impact we've made together—and endlessly grateful to every participant, volunteer, donor, and friend who helped us bring this mission to life.

While our journey as an organization is coming to a close, the stories, growth, and connection that happened here will live on. Inspired Acres was always more than a place—it was a shared belief in healing, belonging, and possibility.
In the coming weeks, we’ll be working to responsibly wind down operations. We’ll share updates about final details, celebrations of our time together, and opportunities to stay connected.

Thank you for believing in Inspired Acres. This community has been nothing short of extraordinary.

*A Note to Our Supporters:
We’ve received many kind messages asking about our horses. Please know that their care and future are being handled with great thought and responsibility. Their wellbeing will always come first.
At this time, we are not accepting any inquiries related to the horses.
Thank you for your concern and understanding as we move forward.

Today, We Remember. 🇺🇸

This Memorial Day, we pause to honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their courage and sacrifice allow us the freedoms we hold dear.

At Inspired Acres, we’re especially mindful of the deep meaning this day holds for many in our community — for the families who carry memories of loved ones lost, and for the veterans who serve alongside those who never made it home.

We remember. We honor. And we carry their legacy forward with gratitude and purpose.

Wishing everyone a peaceful and reflective Memorial Day.

With our Volunteer Room Fundraiser campaign being officially wrapped, the heart behind it lives on in every story — like this one from our incredible volunteer, Bonnie:

“I volunteer at Inspired Acres because being part of a team that creates a safe and structured space for our unique and very special individuals to grow more than warms my heart. Seeing the faces and smiles that come with each new accomplishment — and even disappointment — brings a different kind of joy from moment to moment. It’s in this space that I find myself growing and reaching for new heights as well.”

THIS is why we do what we do. 💙
And thanks to all of you who donated, shared, and supported our fundraiser, we’re building a space that reflects this love, dedication, and growth every single day.

💥 GOAL CRUSHED 💥
Our Volunteer Room Fundraiser is officially CLOSED — and thanks to your amazing support, we raised $1,726 — more than 15% over our goal!

We can’t wait to transform this space into a warm, welcoming retreat for our incredible volunteers. You’ve helped make that possible — and then some.

Stay tuned for updates as we start the transformation!
