Earlier this week our Executive Director, Joe Wappelhorst, was interviewed on the EAS podcast Not Just a Pony Ride by Heartland Equine Therapeutic Riding Academy (HETRA). This podcast covers all the facets of our industry and is a great listen if you are looking to learn more about EAS.

Here is a short summary of the episode: “What’s unique about Joe is that he is not a grassroots horse person. While the passion for the services SIRE offers definitely shines through, he really specializes in the business side of being an ED. His perspective is super fresh and different from what is typical in the EAS industry...”

Did you know that SIRE maintains a herd of nearly 40 horses at our two facilities; Fulshear and Spring?! Each of our horses help people at SIRE do big things for people of all abilities. By sponsoring a member of our herd, you are directly supporting their feed, veterinary care, farrier, dental and any other costs associated with the horse.

Give a big round of applause to these two members of the SIRE family! Christine and Jessica are the dynamic duo who completed the Memorial Hermann 10 for Texas this past Saturday.


Both of these amazing ladies are from the Spring location and are actually instructor and rider. They have been able to accomplish their goals inside and outside of the arena. We look forward to seeing them conquer the upcoming horse show season and race season.

It is with extreme sadness and broken hearts we share the crossing of Zoe over the rainbow bridge. Ever the stoic lady, she fought really hard this past weekend. At the end of the day, we had to make the impossible call and not let her suffer.

Zoe’s presence in every SIRE therapeutic riding lesson and equine assisted learning session was calming, comforting, and confidence building. She was the perfect teacher for our riders learning show skills or our Veterans working on relationship building. Her loss will be a spot in our herd we will never completely fill.

We love you Zoe, run free sweet girl.
