I want to send a HUGE thank you to Pond Hill Ranch for helping to pair me with Dolce (my little treat 🥰).

I had been searching for a long time and met many wonderful horses, but I hadn't found the perfect fit. Within minutes of arriving at Pond Hill, Harry had paired me with several wonderful candidates, all of whom matched my criteria exactly.

The purchasing process was a breeze, the people were fantastic, and the horse is...well, he is the stuff that dreams are made of.

Next time I am searching for a horse partner, I will skip the hassle and head straight to Pond Hill! ❤️🏇

Thank you so much to Emily Sherman, one of our awesome therapists and clinical supervisor, and Olivia, our equine specialist and chaos manager, for representing AEAP at the Warren Washington Counties Brainstorm event today in Glens Falls! Mental health awareness is so important and this was a fabulous event to help our local community! ❤️

I absolutely LOVE this photo of our equine specialist and chaos manager, Olivia, and one of our OTTB therapy horses, Irish Giant (McGee). They both look so happy! 🥰

For two long years, I have pushed through grueling breast cancer treatment, surgeries, chemotherapy, medication, testing, poking, prodding, and just generally gotten beat up. I am currently cancer free and I thought to myself: Self? You have been through so much. You deserve a little treat.

Soooooo...say hello to Little Treat.

This gorgeous boy is a 7yo Amish-born draft cross with a heart of absolute gold. He didn't come with a name (they were calling him Tony at the sales barn) so we had to come up with something to fit his regal, gentle spirit. The Sunday Come To Meetin' name we gave him is Dolce, but his private, in my heart name is Little Treat. 🥰

I can't wait to love him up forever! Our clients are going to loooooooove him! ❤️

Trainer Kenny McPeek announced that 2024 Horse of the Year THORPEDO ANNA has been retired from racing to Hill 'n' Dale Farms. 🏇❤️

The Grizzly retired with a very impressive $5,440,913 in earnings after 16 career starts with 12 wins and 2 seconds. 🐻

I am so glad I got to meet Anna this past summer! She is an absolute legend and I am looking forward to hearing about her next adventures. We love you, Anna! Thank you for all the fun!🏇

📸 by me this past August in Saratoga when Anna was schooling to the paddock ahead of the Personal Ensign Stakes on Traver's Saturday. It was such a thrill to see her up close like that!
