ROCK Ride On Center for Kids

We are so excited to welcome a brand-new Tack Cleaning Team to ROCK! 🐴❤️

Pictured here are John Still, Alex Welch, and Eric Welch!

Alex is one of our wonderful ROCK participants, and we’re especially grateful to see him giving back to a place that means so much to him.

Alongside John, a sidewalker in Alex’s class, Eric, Alex’s dad, and the rest of our new Tack Cleaning Team, Alex is volunteering his time to help keep our tack clean, cared for, and ready for upcoming classes.

Thank you to this amazing team for rolling up your sleeves and helping ROCK in such a meaningful way. We are so grateful for each of you! ❤️

A big thank you to Dale's Essenhaus for hosting ROCK’s Back to ROCK Night! ❤️🐴

We had such a wonderful time celebrating with our ROCK family last Thursday, and we’re so excited to welcome everyone back as classes begin today!

From delicious burgers and great company to the always-popular Horse Bingo, it was the perfect way to kick off a new semester. A special thank you to Maddie Runyan from Frost for once again leading ROCK Horse Bingo! Maddie, you bring so much fun and energy to our events, and we are incredibly grateful for you!

And the good news doesn’t stop there! Dale’s Essenhaus is continuing to support ROCK throughout the month of September with their Round Up Fundraiser. When you dine at Dale’s, you can round up your bill to make a difference for ROCK and help support our mission. Every little bit adds up!

Welcome back, ROCK family! We’re looking forward to a wonderful fall semester filled with connection, growth, and plenty of time in the dirt. 🐴🎉

We are so grateful for our wonderful ROCKateer, Jeff, and his thoughtful gift of upgrading our feed cart! 🐴💙

Jeff’s dedication to keeping ROCK clean, organized, and running smoothly is truly admirable. Even more special is the thought he puts into making things easier for our feed team and better for our horses. It’s a wonderful reflection of the kind of person he is and the heart he brings to ROCK.

Thank you, Jeff, for going above and beyond and for always looking for ways to make a difference!👏

Our staff got the wonderful chance to take a yoga class from our very own Amy Keck yesterday! 🧘‍♀️

It was the perfect opportunity for our team to center themselves before our classes start back this coming Monday.

Thank you to Amy for offering this class. We can't wait to see everyone back in the dirt on Monday! 👏🎉

🐴 Happy Labor Day from ROCK! 🇺🇸

Today, we’re celebrating the people who show up, roll up their sleeves, and make a difference every day.

From our hardworking staff and dedicated ROCKateers to the families, supporters, and community partners who help keep our mission moving forward—we’re grateful for everyone who puts in the work to make miracles happen.

Thank you for being part of the ROCK team and helping us improve independence and life skills in partnership with the horse. ❤️

Wishing you a safe, happy, and well-deserved Labor Day!

Happy Friday everyone! 😃

We hope your Friday is going as good as ours. Our partners over at HTeaO on Williams Drive donated half a pallet of water to ROCK this morning and we couldn't be more thrilled. 💧👏

This donation is so important to us as it keeps our participants, families, ROCKateers, and staff members hydrated in this heat! ❤️

Thank you again to HTeaO for being such a wonderful partner to ROCK! 🤝
