Paint the Pony Update!

Because of YOU — your generosity, your shares, your enthusiasm — we’ve officially passed $80,000 and painted the 8th stripe on the Pony! 💛🐴

This momentum is 100% fueled by our incredible CTRC community. Every gift, every repost, every conversation you’ve sparked has helped riders of all abilities experience strength, joy, and life-changing progress in our programs. We are so grateful.

Now, let’s keep this energy going! We still have 17 more stripes to paint!

Can we paint through the 9th stripe by the end of the week? That’s just $8,00 more to fuel life-changing programs and keep the Pony marching toward our $250,000 goal.

✨ CTRC Volunteer Spotlight! ✨

Meet Nancy, our August 2025 Volunteer of the Month! 🙌💛

Nancy first helped with projects in 2024, but since joining us regularly in May 2025, she’s jumped in with both feet — and made an incredible impact in such a short time.

From supporting riders in classes, to being a devoted Barn Buddy to sweet Starlight, to pitching in wherever needed (including outdoor décor for the horse show!), Nancy shows up with heart, positivity, and a can-do spirit every single time.

We truly can’t say THANK YOU enough, Nancy. CTRC is better because of you! 🐴💙💛

Learn more about Nancy and her thoughts on volunteering at CTRC here: https://ctrcinc.org/2025/11/13/august-2025-nancy-matthews/

🌎💙 Happy World Kindness Day! Here at the Colorado Therapeutic Riding Center, we are surrounded by acts of kindness every day. From our compassionate staff and dedicated volunteers to our supportive community, we witness the power of kindness in action.

Our volunteers give their time and energy to create a safe, welcoming space for our riders, and our staff goes above and beyond to ensure each participant feels valued and empowered. We are so grateful for this incredible community that truly embodies kindness in every interaction, big and small.

Today, let’s celebrate kindness by extending a helping hand, sharing a smile, or lifting someone up. Together, we’re making the world a kinder, brighter place—one ride at a time. 💙🐴
