Smokey and Junior need your help!

After evaluating the horses, we are pushing our Spring season back to April. Unfortunately, Smokey and Junior have some health concerns that we need to fix before we allow any riders on them.

Both of the boys need:
* X-rays
* Vet visits
* Body work

…and maybe more depending on how the vet visits go.

We are starting a “Sponsor a Session” fundraiser! Sponsor one body work session for one of the boys, and you can come out to the barn to see first-hand how this body work relieves pain and soreness. Each session costs $50 (which is a huge discount given to us since we are a therapeutic center).

If you would like to Sponsor a Session or donate toward veterinary care, please message Morgan/Executive Director at 903-655-4608. Your donations will help us give our horses better quality of life, and allow us to start sessions ASAP!

The holidays have come and gone, and we are gearing back up for our Spring Season! 🌼🌿Our Spring services will run from March 18th - May 24th, and we are excited to get back in the saddle!

To sign up as a volunteer or participant, please go to our website at soulsano.com. There you'll find all the forms you need under the "Forms/Documents" tab 🤗

This Friday (11/10) we will be closed to honor our Veterans. Veterans hold a special place in our hearts, and it is our privilege to honor them with a special day. We wish we could do more to serve those who have given everything for our freedom.

With this in mind, we would like to conduct a fundraiser this week in honor of our local Veterans. All funds raised will go toward starting up our Veteran/Military Program at Soulsano.

If you feel led, please donate to our Venmo with the comment “For our Veterans 🇺🇸”

One of our top 🔝 priorities is making sure our horses get quality care. Today we were blessed to have Lisa Reiner do some massage therapy on our boys, and they loved it! 🥰

Our boys work so hard for our participants, so we want to make sure they get the care they deserve to keep doing what they love ❤️

Video below is Smokey loving that massage gun 🤤

Hey Henderson (and surrounding areas)! We have exciting news… Our waitlist is open! 🎉🥳

Soulsano is a Therapeutic Equestrian Center where we offer horseback riding lessons to meet behavioral, emotional, and physical needs. We serve ages 4 and up to improve social skills, focus, self-esteem, anxiety and depression, and so much more! ❤️

With our waitlist being open, this means that we are able to start offering services, but it may take some time before you are officially scheduled. It’s important to get on the waitlist as soon as possible, as it is first come first served 👍🏼

Please contact us at [email protected] if you have any questions or would like to be added to our waitlist ✔️ We’re excited to serve you!
