How many times have you laughed today?

What do you think Bonbon is smiling about?

Did you know that, according to the Mayo Clinic, a good laugh has great short-term effects, When you start to laugh, it doesn't just lighten your load mentally. It actually causes physical changes in your body. Laughter can:

Stimulate many organs. Laughter helps you take in oxygen-rich air, which stimulates your heart, lungs and muscles. Laughter also increases feel-good chemicals called endorphins that your brain releases.

Activate and relieve your stress response. A rollicking laugh fires up and then cools down your stress response. It also can raise and then lower your heart rate and blood pressure. As a result, you feel good and more relaxed.

Soothe tension. Laughter also can stimulate circulation and aid muscle relaxation. Both can help reduce some of the physical symptoms of stress.

We are excited to intoduce everyone to our new friend Jelly Bean!

Jelly Bean is a 9 year old Haflinger/Friesian mare who has recently joined our team. She comes with a background in both riding and driving and has a friendly and engaging personality that will also make her a great fit to join our interactive vaulting program in the future, after receiving some training for that discipline.

She has been enjoying making friends around the barn so feel free to say "Hello" to her if you see her at the barn and watch for her to join in on some lessons soon.

Custard is out charming the wildlife and making friends with the local birds! If you didn't notice it at first look again at his back. We have seen this several times over the last couple of weeks and it has us wondering if Custard might be a Disney princess, or at least a Prince Charming, in disguise. ;)

We are incredibly grateful to Notre Dame Federal Credit Union for visiting our facility and for their generous donation of tablets that will help enhance our programming and better support our riders and participants.
These tablets will provide valuable tools for conducting professional assessments of individual needs, including sensory assessments that can yield quantifiable data to help us better understand and support some of our participants. They will also give us access to helpful apps and communication tools for our nonverbal participants, creating more opportunities for engagement, expression, and connection.
Thank you, Notre Dame Federal Credit Union, for your time, generosity, and commitment to making a meaningful difference in our community. We are excited to put these wonderful resources to work!
