Things keep getting better. So grateful to Oasis Power Sports and their team. We just picked up our new Kawasaki Mule.

We were in desperate need of a new utility vehicle as our old one was more than 30 years old. Our old mule still worked but could not pull the arena drag in the sand Ha, 1980’s model.

Thank you Noah and Shad along with the rest of your team for everything.

Been busy here this past week at the barn. Huge shout out to GTS trucking along with Shawnee Sand and Gravel. We now have 75 tons of sand in our arena and the horses are loving the soft ground to walk on. Also thank you Jesse for all your help prepping the ground and spreading the sand.

🌟 What an incredible journey we've had! 🌟

Today marked the last day of our first session for the therapeutic riding program, and it couldn't have ended on a more beautiful note. While this photo captures just one of our classes with three of our wonderful riders, it's a glimpse into the joy and growth experienced by many more participants in our therapeutic riding program.

Our riders wrapped up their 7-week session with an exhilarating trail ride through the enchanting woods of Giant City State Park! 🌳🐴 It was the perfect blend of adventure and serenity, offering a fun and memorable finale to an incredible journey. Laughter and joy echoed through the forest as our riders celebrated their achievements and the bonds they've formed along the way. 🎉 🌳🐴

A heartfelt thank you to our amazing volunteers and dedicated staff for their exceptional work with the riders and for preparing our wonderful horses over the past 7 weeks. Your passion and commitment have made a lasting impact! 🙏❤️
