🐴✨ Sven heard it was Friday and decided to lend a hoof with the tractor repairs.

Stephen: “No thanks, I’m good.”
Sven: “Perfect, I’ll just supervise then.” 🤣

Because Fridays are for “helping”… even when you’re not actually helping. 😉

🌟 Teaching Tuesday 🌟

Did you know that scratching a horse’s belly can actually help strengthen their back? 🐴✨

When we gently scratch or press along the belly, it triggers what’s called an abdominal reflex—the horse naturally lifts their belly, which in turn engages their core and back muscles. This “belly lift” is a simple way to:

✅ Support posture and spinal mobility
✅ Strengthen the topline
✅ Keep our therapy horses feeling their best!

It may look like just a happy scratch, but it’s actually a mini workout for our amazing partners. 💪🐎

Butterfly Dreams has been such an important part of my recovery journey—physically, mentally, and emotionally. 💛 Being on the farm, connecting with the horses, and building friendships with my instructors and volunteers has brought me so much joy.
Riding has strengthened my muscles, improved my balance as I work toward walking, and helped me focus my thoughts while learning horsemanship skills. Most importantly, it has helped me feel more like me. I am not defined by my disability—I still have goals, dreams, and hopes, and Butterfly Dreams has reminded me that they are possible. 🌟
I’m so grateful to the generous people who have sponsored me and to those who support Butterfly Dreams, making scholarships like mine possible. You have truly blessed me! 🐴✨
