😱💜Monday Mood💜😱

Anyone else feeling overwhelmed? No? Just me then😵‍💫

My personal life (everyone’s birthday besides mine and our anniversary) and my rescue life (Giving Season) are absolutely insane this time of year😱 Every year🤷🏻‍♀️ And the crazy thing is, SO much of it is good crazy🥹

To say my recovery from surgery in September has been brutal is an understatement😩 And now I’m sick on top of it🤦‍♀️ So I’m failing miserably at all I need to be doing right now😔 Then I get anxious on top of being overwhelmed😭 And it would be so easy for me to spiral and think all of this is just too much and I’m nowhere near capable of doing it all. Yet I’m not🥰 So of course I’m trying to figure out why not😆 Overthinking the overthinking is my super power😅

So my mood? Hopeful. Grateful. Inspired. Trusting the journey. Reflecting. Still grieving but embracing so much love. And just doing the best I can❤️

And remembering the incredible parts of the year💜 And feeling so lucky to have the most incredible humans and horses, and donkeys and burros, in my life🩵

If there is one thing I know, it’s that change is the only constant in our lives🤍 The changes and the new plans we have for 2026 with new friends that have truly already become family, have me feeling more excited than I have felt in a very long time❣️ And the ones who have been here for the entire journey, well I’ll never know how I got so lucky💚

What I do know is taking the time to get to know new people, to spend time in incredible places both with the wild ones and with those who lost their freedom but gained incredible humans to give them back so much of what they lost, and soaking it all in throughout the year is what is getting me through right now💛 Make the memories so you can look back on them when it all feels impossible!! And you can feel that calmness so you don’t lose yourself in the chaos💟

Thank you Vern Sharp for this incredible image that reminds me why😍 When I take the time to remember how fierce and strong these mustangs are, everything else fades away and I find myself holding on to their strength to keep going🖤🩶🤍🤎

Our Story

Rehabilitation of any equine, not only involves extensive amounts of time, but also money. We believe that rescue and EAAT (Equine Assisted Activities and Therapies) horses and the organizations that support them deserve a team of people to provide this intensive care. We also believe that team should be compensated for their valuable care. With this in mind we have started a nonprofit to do both. Our goal is to partner with these organizations to help alleviate the extensive vet bills, extra training and complimentary care costs that come along with providing the best chance at full recovery and wellness. Every horse deserves this chance but when it is a nonprofit supporting these special equines it often limits how many services can be provided. Likewise providing these services at no cost limits how much a practitioner can provide. This is where we come in. We will not only be able to provide care at our facility but at the rescue or EAAT center where the equine lives.

Our name comes from the first rescue horse we cared for with the trust of Terolyn Horse Rescue, inc.. Aria was only with us for a few days before she crossed the rainbow bridge and we were all in love with her already.This sweet horse not only gave hugs, she loved to be with people and being in her presence helped us be present and soak in every minute of how lucky we are to work with these amazing creatures. Along with Teri, her staff and volunteers, we all believe Aria came into our lives for a reason and we hope to carry on her legacy by helping other horses like her.
