Project Report | Sep 18, 2026
New Beginnings and Returning Smiles!

By Jennifer Mitchell | Development Director

The barn is filled with excitement again, and we couldn’t be happier! Our fall session is underway for over 60 participants each week, and we are thrilled to welcome both new and returning participants back to EATSF.

There is something special about the beginning of a new session...the familiar sounds of horses in the barn, the anticipation on the children’s faces, and the joy that comes from reconnecting with favorite horses, instructors, and friends. For our returning participants, coming back to the barn means continuing relationships and building on skills they have worked hard to develop. For those joining us for the first time, it is the beginning of a new journey filled with opportunities to learn, grow, and discover the unique connection that can develop between a child and a horse.

This fall, our program is once again providing therapeutic riding and equine-assisted services for children with special needs, creating a supportive environment where each child can work toward individual goals while experiencing the confidence, independence, and joy that come from working with horses. Every session brings new milestones, whether it is trying something for the first time, becoming more comfortable around a horse, following directions independently, building strength and coordination, or simply sharing a proud smile after accomplishing something that once seemed difficult.

We are especially grateful to our GlobalGiving supporters, whose generosity helps make these experiences possible. We are excited to see what this new season will bring!
