We are so grateful to the Maggie’s team for their generous support over the years, and we are so excited to announce their restaurant as a newsletter sponsor for 2025. Thank you so much, Maggie’s, for all the miracles you make!

Horse of the Year

Congratulations to Blaze (RIP) and Don Pecos as 2024 Horse of the Year Winners

Thanks for the many votes/donations for horse of the year. Of course all our horses deserve that title, but two winners emerged.

Many people voted for Blaze after his passing this fall. He was a great therapy horse for many years and he is missed.

The other winner is Don Pecos, a therapy horse who is always willing, easy to lead, and easy to love. 

We are grateful for the support we have received throughout this competition. We hope you had as much fun as we did watching the race.

Boo at the Barn

Our annual Boo at the Barn event was a tremendous success. We had great weather, fun activities, delicious food, and creative costumes. Over 500 people attended to eat, see the horse parade, make crafts and play games, including the hobby horse show jumping arena.

Thanks to the volunteers, community partners, sponsors, and work groups that made Boo possible.

Watch the spot about Boo from the KCRG Morning Show.
