Continuing on with our car show sponsors, we’d like to thank Genesis Air for your continued support of TTRC! Thank you for helping make the car show happen and being a proud supporter of the program ❤️

Before we move on to the car show sponsors, we wanted to take a moment to thank two gentlemen who have always worked tirelessly for TTRC and always show up!

Mike Simpson and Neal Hughs have been such vital assets to TTRC. Each in their own way.

Mike has been a part of TTRC for several years, serving on the advisory board, heading up the advisory committee and always finding great items for fundraisers. Mike has always checked in on us to see if we need anything and shows up at EVERY event we’ve had. He’s a great sounding board and is just an all around great guy to have on our team.

Neal has been a part of TTRC for several years as well. He started out by bringing us feed and then started attending events. He has been cowboy santa, a car show organizer, gets great items for fundraising and does anything that is needed for us. Neal also shows up at EVERY event. Neal has so many great ideas and just wants the best for TTRC.

Needless to say, if you don’t have a Mike Simpson or a Neal Hughs on your team, you are missing out. TTRC is so much better having these guys on board. We are so appreciative of all the things they have done and continue to do for us. Thank you isn’t enough but will have to suffice.

Thank you Mike and Neal ❤️

This Friday evening introduction goes to none other than, Michael. He is a registered Norwegian Fjord Gelding. At 19, he’s still as playful as he was at 15! He’s been with the program for about six years and loves little participants. He may be on the shorter side but has a huge personality and even bigger heart ❤️
Who doesn’t love Michael 🥰

Continuing our introductions is Four J Chrome, "Chrome," a 14-year-old palomino Quarter Horse gelding. Chrome has been with TTRC for about 4 years and enjoys therapeutic horsemanship and ground sessions. Chrome loves being in charge and the color blue 💙
