Big day for every Soldier, Sailor and Marine on the football field instead of the battlefield.

Today isn’t just about rivalry — it’s about honoring 250 years of sacrifice, service, and commitment from the men and women of the United States Army and United States Navy & Marine Corps. Different uniforms, same oath. We are grateful for every veteran who has stood the watch so that others could live in freedom.

🎄✨ What an incredible day at the Bend Christmas Parade! ✨🎄

We had such a wonderful time bringing A Storybook Christmas to life — and we’re thrilled to share that we won the Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Award! 🦌🏆❤️

Our float team showed up big this year:
🐴 Treehouse Therapies brought the cutest mini horse
🇺🇸 Two of our veterans proudly carried the American flag
🌟 One of our young riders represented our Therapeutic Horsemanship program
🐎 And Pie showed off long-lining to represent our Hippotherapy partnership with Treehouse

Plus… our float (and that giant storybook!) looked absolutely magical! ✨📖
A huge thank you to everyone who helped plan, decorate, haul, ride, walk, support, cheer, and make this parade such a success. We couldn’t do it without this incredible community. 💙

✨ Sneak Peek! ✨
We are so excited for tomorrow’s A Storybook Christmas parade — and our float is looking AMAZING! Inspired by Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, we’re bringing this classic Christmas tale to life. 🦌🎄📖

And we have to shout out Keegan, who created this absolutely incredible, larger-than-life storybook for our float. Seriously… it’s jaw-dropping. 🤩 The pages may look blank in this preview 👀, but just wait until parade time — it’s pure Christmas magic!

We can’t wait to share it with you all tomorrow! 🎅✨

🎄✨ Sisters Christmas Parade ✨🎄

We had such a wonderful time in the Sisters Christmas Parade this weekend! StirrUp Purpose was proud to share our float with our partners at Treehouse Therapies as we celebrated the season together.

Sage and Pie joined us for the fun, demonstrating long-lining—one of the key tools we use in our hippotherapy sessions with Treehouse Therapies at Pole Creek Ranch in Sisters.

Thank you to everyone who came out, waved, cheered, and shared the Christmas spirit with us. We love being part of this incredible community!
