What an incredible day with Knine Rescue Inc.! 🐾❤️

We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to host today’s adoption event and help shine a spotlight on the amazing work KNine Rescue does every single day. From rescuing dogs in need to providing medical care, fostering, and ultimately helping them find loving forever homes, their dedication is truly inspiring.

Getting to spend the day surrounded by so many happy, playful puppies was a joy, but what made it even more special was knowing that each one is on a journey toward a better future because of organizations like KNine Rescue and the volunteers who pour their hearts into this work.

Thank you to everyone who came out to meet the dogs, ask questions, submit applications, donate, or simply show your support. And an extra special thank you to the KNine Rescue team for trusting Willow Run Stables to be a small part of your mission.

We loved seeing our farm filled with wagging tails, puppy kisses, and smiling faces, and we hope this is just the beginning of many opportunities to support such a wonderful cause.

Thank you, KNine Rescue, for all that you do. ❤️🐶

💪🏼🐴Rider Fitness Classes with Alex Verzino🐴🐴

Alex will be offering group and private Rider Fitness Training Classes.

Alex blends his health and fitness knowledge as a NASM Certified Personal Trainer with his training and experience as a rider in the horse industry.

Alex’s background is diverse and includes English and Western riding, as well as Cutting, Reining, Reined Cow Horse, and Saddle Seat. His volunteer work includes time at a therapeutic riding center, helping children and adults with developmental disabilities, as well as working with a mustang horse rescue, where he was part of a team that helped rehabilitate abused mustang horses and find them good homes.

Alex also had the opportunity to work out west in Montana on a large guest ranch for three years, learning refined horsemanship, stockmanship, and cowboying skills. After his time out west, Alex worked at a small guest ranch in Upstate New York for one season as a wrangler. Following his time in New York, he returned to Maryland to be closer to family and build his own business to help riders and horses be set up for success.

Alex believes that when both horse and rider become more athletic while developing strong teamwork, there will be increased success.

Training in these classes will focus on developing the following:

• Improved posture for musculoskeletal alignment
• Increased balance for smoother riding both in the arena and on the trail
• Creating a stronger base of stability for maintaining good form during dynamic equine movement
• Improved breathing for relaxation of the body while riding, creating a water effect of fluidity between horse and rider
• Strength training for increased performance both on the ground and in the saddle. Strong riders help make strong horses.

This is just the beginning of what will be covered, as there will be much more athletic performance training included in the rider fitness programs offered.

*Monday through Friday, from 6:30 PM to 7:45 PM.*

*The group class rate will be $50 per 75-minute session.*

*These are trailer-in lessons only.*

The Rider Fitness Training Classes will be hosted at Willow Run Stables in Union Bridge, Maryland.

If you or someone you know would be interested in this type of fitness training, please reach out to Willow Run Stables to sign up for the Rider Fitness Classes.

Thank you for your interest, and see you there!
