✨Volunteer Spotlight: Nancy Holt✨ Nancy has been an invaluable member of our volunteer program for several years. Her recent retirement has afforded her the opportunity to dedicate even more time to volunteering, and we have been profoundly grateful for her unwavering commitment and hard work. Nancy's gentle, caring, and nurturing nature shines through in her interactions with every horse, as she showers them with kindness, compassion, and undivided attention.

Last week, several members of our herd received essential routine maintenance treatments to ensure their optimal health and well-being. Lazy EM Ranch PEMF provided Magnawave therapy to seniors experiencing arthritis, inflammation, and stiffness. AT Equine Bodywork worked with Faye and Bella to enhance their training progress. These are just a couple of the treatments we provide to our herd that are critical for their rehabilitation and overall well-being. A huge thank you to all of our generous donors that allow us to provide this exceptional care to our herd! If you would like to help support our mission, visit our website dcerTX.org/donate 🙏🏼❤️

It was such a privilege to host the American Quarter Horse Youth Association’s community service project last week. Each summer, AQHA hosts the Youth Excellence Seminar (YES) in Amarillo for AQHYA members as part of a 3-day event. We were able to educate and inspire 160 youth members from all over the U.S. about how our rescue organization began, our volunteer program, training program, and the healing power of our horses in the Led By Horses program. The group worked hard to clear out our pens and their enthusiasm and respect were truly inspiring. It was a day filled with smiles and collaboration between our staff, volunteers, and the AQHYA members and leaders. We are grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this event and look forward to participating again next year. Thank you to everyone involved for their hard work and dedication.
