At Stable Friendships Foundation, love shows up in quiet moments between a child and a horse.

It looks like confidence growing.
It feels like peace after a hard day.
It sounds like laughter in the barn.

Families tell us:
“He has gained so much confidence and truly shines in his sessions.”
“The horses bring him peace and tranquility through a strong emotional bond.”

This Valentine’s Day, thank you for being part of a love story that changes lives.❤️

Horses don’t experience interactions in isolation.
They carry history in their bodies.

Research continues to show that familiarity, consistency, and relationship length matter.

Horses with positive, long-term human partnerships tend to show less stress, more curiosity, and greater ease when facing something new.

That doesn’t mean pressure never works.
It means too much pressure removes choice—and choice is where safety lives.

At Stable Friendships, we’re intentional about who handles our horses, how often, and why. Familiar relationships aren’t just better for our clients—they’re part of how we care for our horses’ nervous systems, too.

Safety is built over time.
For humans. For horses. For the relationship between them.

Snow days mean fewer two-legged friends around the farm,
but the ponies are keeping themselves busy.
Rolling, relaxing, and enjoying a little winter freedom. ❄️🐴

Tomorrow we’re hosting our first Parent Education Series webinar no of 2026 — and you’re invited!

In this free session, you’ll learn how licensed therapists use the horse’s rhythmic movement to support balance, coordination, communication, and confidence in children — all through a partnership that feels natural, gentle, and deeply impactful.

If you’ve ever wondered what hippotherapy really is, this is the place to start.

👉 Comment HIPPO below and we’ll send you the free registration link.

Because understanding opens doors. And sometimes, it starts with a horse 🌟

🎉 Together WE did it : Total raised $18,947 🎉

And we are still taking it all in.

Because of your generosity, your sharing, and your belief in this work, our Giving Tuesday goal of $15,000 was not only met — it was surpassed.

Every dollar represented a ripple — a session funded, a horse supported, a child encouraged, a nervous system soothed, a moment of trust built.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing with us.

This community continues to remind us of what’s possible when people come together with compassion and purpose. We truly couldn’t do this without you.

With endless gratitude,
The Stable Friendships Family

❤️ Tomorrow is Giving Tuesday, and are hearts are full thinking about what this little nonprofit and our herd make possible every day.

At Stable Friendships Foundation, therapy looks different — it happens outdoors, alongside horses, and through deep, real connection.

If you’re feeling pulled to give this season, I’d love for you to join us in supporting therapy sessions for the children and adults we serve. Even a small gift truly makes a difference

🍁 Thanksgiving reminds us just how much a community can hold.

Today, our hearts are with every child, every family, every volunteer, every donor, and every horse who makes Stable Friendships Foundation the place it is—a place where connection grows, courage builds, and small moments turn into real change.

We’re grateful for the hands that help, the hooves that carry, and the friendships that anchor us.

We’re grateful for the trust you place in us and for the way you show up—not just for the farm, but for one another.

From our herd to yours, thank you for being part of this work and this mission.

Wishing you a Thanksgiving filled with warmth, rest, and the kind of joy that settles right into your heart. ♥️

What a privilege it is to do the work you once dreamed of doing.

To stand beside these horses… to witness breakthroughs big and small… to hold space for families walking their own brave paths.

None of this happens alone.

Every session, every moment of connection, every rider who finds their voice or their confidence — it’s all made possible by this community.

If this work speaks to you, help us open the barn doors a little wider this Giving Tuesday.

Your support fuels therapy scholarships, horse care, and life-changing moments for children, adults, and families.

Give, share, or simply help us spread the word — every ripple matters.
