We're a day late, but the celebration is too important to miss! π΄π
Yesterday marked the first annual International Equine-Assisted Services Day, a day dedicated to recognizing the life-changing impact of equine-assisted services around the world.
At Freedom Ride, this is exactly what we do every day. Through the power of the horse-human connection, we help children and adults build confidence, develop new skills, improve physical and emotional well-being, and achieve goals they never thought possible.
Today, we celebrate our incredible participants, horses, volunteers, instructors, donors, and supporters who make this work possible. Thank you for being part of a community that changes lives one ride, one lesson, and one relationship at a time.
Happy International Equine-Assisted Services Day! β€οΈ

π΄π A Heartfelt Thank You to Bob and the Team at Stockman's Harness & Saddle Shop ππ΄
Freedom Ride would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Bob and the entire staff of Stockman's Harness & Saddle Shop for their generous donation of equestrian items to support our mission and programs.

We are deeply appreciative of Bob's generosity and support. Donations like these help us continue providing life-changing therapeutic riding services to the individuals and families we serve.
Thank you, Bob, for thinking of Freedom Ride during this transition. We wish you and the entire Stockman's team all the very best in your next chapter. Your contributions to the equestrian community will not be forgotten.
