Unveiling Mason's Sensory Garden
🌿 We are thrilled to unveil Mason's Sensory Garden, a beautiful and inclusive space where everyone can explore, learn, and connect
with nature! 🌸
This garden is a testament to the power of community, and we couldn't have done it without the incredible support of Mason's Movement Foundation. Your generosity and dedication have made this dream a reality.
Thank you for helping us create a space where every visitor, regardless of ability, can experience the joy and tranquility of nature. 🌱💚

Today Sid enjoyed having 15 tiny personal chefs (AKA preschoolers) at the farm! Our field trip visitors brushed and rode horses, completed a craft, and made these horse treats for our herd! Don’t worry, Sid was sure to share the sweets with his pals. 🐴🍬
If your group is interested in visiting for a field trip or group event at the farm, contact us at www.makingstridesfoundation.org or 412-639-7269!

New Equipment at Making Strides
Our horses are a huge part of what we do at Making Strides. 🐴💙They safely carry our clients during riding lessons and they act as the best assistants during licensed therapy sessions. Keeping our horses and ponies happy and healthy is essential.
This winter, Making Strides and Briarfield Stables, LLC partnered to purchase a Theraplate. Theraplate is proven to decrease pain and decrease inflammation associated with soft tissue injury and arthritis. Since our herd includes mostly senior horses, we felt that weekly Theraplate sessions would be an excellent addition to our horses' routines and improve their overall health and wellbeing.
Here, our Founder & CEO Jillian, with Maple's assistance, talks more about this new piece of equipment at the farm!
