Mother Nature definitely kept us guessing this week. One minute it was hot, then cold, then windy, then pouring rain. It felt like we experienced every season in just a few days.
But our students still showed up, ready to learn and ride. Even on the days we needed to focus on unmounted skills, they brought enthusiasm and determination. We were able to squeeze in plenty of lessons between the weather changes, and our covered arena once again proved to be a true lifesaver for our program.
This week our riders worked toward new goals through creative obstacle courses designed to strengthen riding skills and confidence. They practiced colors, numbers, letters, and verbal communication. One of our students taught volunteers and peers some sign language during his lesson. Watching that confidence and growth unfold is exactly why we do what we do.
It was a full, productive, and joyful week. We are incredibly proud of every single student and the progress they continue to make—no matter what the weather brings.
