Honoring 9/11 and Thanking Our Local First Responders

In recognition of September 11 and in honor of the brave men and women who serve our communities, Freedom Ride delivered breakfast to City Firehouse No. 9 and lunch to County Firehouse No. 42.

Thank you to our local first responders for your courage, dedication, and selfless service—today and every day. We are grateful for all you do.

We need your help! These pigs have been coming on Freedom Ride property for weeks now, and it's causing us lots of issues. Horses notoriously are fearful of pigs, and now our horses are not eating, restless in their stalls, our pastures are getting torn up, and with classes starting next week, we will not be able to have participants working with horses if the pigs are still running loose.

Animal control does not handle pigs, we have been unable to find the owners, and unable to trap them. Does anyone know who may be missing pigs near Freedom Ride at 3919 Bay Lake Road, Orlando, or know someone who deals with nuisance pigs? If so, please reach out at 407-293-0411.

🏆 We brought home the gold! 🏆

Freedom Ride is honored to be named Orlando’s Best Equestrian Services! We’re incredibly grateful to our amazing riders, families, horses, and supporters who make everything we do possible. Thank you for believing in Freedom Ride! 🐴💛
