Volunteer Spotlight: Pat Hogg

For the past year and a half, Pat has been a dedicated part of our barn, growing from barn worker to side walker to leader. Her connection to Leg Up Farm goes back to the very beginning, when it was “still just a dream" from our founder.

After losing her own horses, Pat found a meaningful way to stay connected. Pat felt that volunteering with the therapeutic riding program would be a meaningful way to continue having horses in her life.

What keeps her coming back is simple: the impact. Pat loves being part of helping individuals achieve their therapy goals, while also finding personal growth and peace along the way. “I learn something every time I’m here… it’s been a great way to personally de-stress.”

From the horses to the clients, fellow volunteers, and staff, Pat truly embodies the heart of our mission. And while every horse holds a special place, she shares that Sam has taught her the most along the way.

Pat, thank you for sharing your time, heart, and passion with us. We are so grateful for you!

At Leg Up Farm, familiar spaces can provide a sense of safety and predictability for our clients. When we know our surroundings, the body can relax, focus, and feel more secure, which supports learning, engagement, and connection. Noticing the details of a familiar space, textures, sounds, or routines—can help bring calm and grounding. These quiet, consistent environments allow small moments of growth and confidence to unfold naturally. Familiarity reminds us that comfort often comes from the places where we feel seen, safe, and supported.

🎉🐴 Happy Birthday, Sam! 🐴🎉

Since joining Leg Up Farm in 2020, Sam has proudly claimed the role of barn greeter, welcoming everyone with attention (and the occasional unsolicited kiss).

Our resident class clown keeps us laughing with his antics. Whether he is rearranging obstacles or blowing raspberries when he’s bored, we always enjoy watching Sam be silly!

Despite his PSSM diagnosis, Sam thrives here, helping riders build confidence with his smooth gaits and big personality.

Help us wish this silly, sweet guy the best birthday ever!

At Leg Up Farm, movement is often a meaningful part of the therapeutic experience. Mindful walking invites us to slow down and notice each step, bringing awareness to how the body moves and connects with the ground. Whether walking alongside a horse or through the barn, these moments can help regulate the body and bring a sense of calm and focus. Paying attention to each step encourages presence and helps quiet distractions. Even simple movement can become a powerful tool for connection and awareness.
