With a very heavy heart, we are so sad to share that one of our kiddos passed away last week.

Henry started seeing Beth before he was less than a year old, and eventually came to Dream Riders when he was 2. Henry was with us ever since and stole the hearts of all of his therapists, and all of the staff here.

Henry rode our gentle giant, Copenhagen, for the longest time while he received therapy from us. Over the years Henry has made such an impact on all our staff, patients, parents, and volunteers at our facility, almost everyone knew him.

Henry brought so much joy and light to the farm and would love to shake your hands, “really, really fast hand shake”, as he would say. Henry had many funny sayings and infectious ways to make you smile, that everyone is going to miss dearly.

Even though long walks around the farm weren’t his favorite he would always do the work with a smile on his face. Everyone at the farm is going to miss his presence and we hope the family knows how loved Henry was from the bottom of our hearts.

Rest In Peace Henry 💔

🚨UPDATE🚨
We made a change to our Memorial Day Walk/Trot 5K Fundraiser - all funds generated will be used for families who need our services for their children who are having insurance limitations or none coverage of the therapies they need.

We never want to see a child lose treatment they need due to a healthcare system that doesn't work for them.

A lot of insurances are not as flexible like they were during the COVID period and we are seeing and experiencing more and more restrictions which is forcing families to make tough decisions, which is not fair to the child. Please join us this year and register, donate or sponsor the event.

Every little bit helps.
