What Tamara shared with us truly brightened this rainy afternoon. ❤️

We are so grateful for the families who allow NTRC to be part of their journey and trust our team, volunteers, and horses along the way. Watching riders grow in confidence, connection, patience, and independence is why this work means so much.

Thank you, Tamara, for sharing Harry’s story with such kindness. We are honored to be part of it and look forward to continuing this journey with him through summer camp! 🐴

Let’s end the season strong! ❤️🐴

This week, we are celebrating Trophy Week, one of the most meaningful times of the riding season. Our riders are being recognized for their hard work, growth, and progress, and it is such a joy to see them finish the season feeling proud. Pictured are some of our dedicated riders after their last 25-26' lessons.

Saturday will be our final lesson day of the season, and we are looking for a few volunteer leaders to help make it a great one.

Volunteering this Saturday means helping riders feel supported, celebrated, and safe as they finish the year. It also means getting to witness some of the best moments of the season, from proud families to riders receiving their trophies.

If you are a volunteer leader and are available, please sign up in CERVIS or contact James Kintz, Volunteer Manager.

Not a leader but still want to help? Please reach out.

Thank you for another incredible year.❤️

This past week, NTRC’s mini horses had the honor of visiting some of the incredible healthcare professionals who care for our community every single day. ❤️

Thank you to Encompass Health for inviting our minis to celebrate Nurses Week by visiting staff and patients room to room. Watching smiles appear in hallways, patient rooms, and nurses stations was such a meaningful reminder of the power of connection and simple moments of joy.

We also want to thank NCH, pictured here during our visit, for welcoming us to both North and Baker campuses during Hospital Week. Our team was proud to spend time with staff across departments, sharing encouragement, laughter, and a little extra brightness during their busy days.

Nurses Week and Hospital Week are so important because they recognize the people who constantly pour into others. These healthcare professionals show up day after day with compassion, resilience, and dedication, often carrying far more than most people realize. Taking time to celebrate them matters!

To every nurse, healthcare worker, and hospital staff member, thank you for all you do for our community. We are grateful we could give a little joy back. 🐴❤️
