Where Are They Now-

⭐️Taylor⭐️

Some riders never really leave Saddle Sore Ranch—they just take their journey a little further.

Taylor first walked through our gates at just 16 years old as a rider and volunteer. Over the next six years, she became a core part of Saddle Sore—teaching lessons, supporting daily ranch operations, and competing in gymkhanas all the way through her college graduation.

After earning her marketing degree from the University of Arizona, Taylor took her skills all the way to Miami, where she now works with the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix and the Miami Dolphins.

Recently, Taylor came back to visit and swung a leg over Reba for the first time in four years—and her riding skills didn’t disappoint one bit. Watching her ride again was a powerful reminder that horsemanship stays with you, no matter where life takes you.

We are incredibly proud of Taylor and grateful to be a small part of a journey that continues far beyond the ranch. Once a Saddle Sore rider, always a Saddle Sore rider. 🐎🤍

Powder Update 🐴
Powder is doing well—facial swelling has gone down, she’s eating and drinking, and all medications are being given orally to keep things as low-stress as possible.

This was a reminder that rattlesnakes are still active, even in December, with our warmer days. We’re following our established horse snake-bite protocol and monitoring her closely.

While she’s on track toward a full recovery, she’s not completely out of the woods yet. There’s limited research on how venom can affect the brain, heart, and major organs short- and long-term, so continued observation is key.

Thank you to our incredible team who stepped in over Christmas to support Powder and keep her comfortable. 🤍

This morning, our sweet Powder was bitten by a rattlesnake and was immediately taken in for care. Thanks to the incredib...

This morning, our sweet Powder was bitten by a rattlesnake and was immediately taken in for care. Thanks to the incredible team at Arizona Equine Medical, she received prompt treatment and a full snakebite protocol and is now headed home to rest and recover. 💙🐴

This is an important reminder that even in December, with our warm Arizona days, rattlesnakes can still be active. Please stay alert around barns, turnout areas, and trails.

We are so grateful for the excellent care Powder received and will be keeping a close eye on her as she recovers at home. Thank you to everyone who supports and loves our ranch horses as much as we do. 🤍

✨ Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Year End Celebration! ✨
What a night — full of smiles, proud moments, and all the heart that makes this community so special. Watching our riders, families, and team come together reminds us why we do what we do.

To those who couldn’t make it, you were missed — and we hope this recap brings a little of the magic to you, too.

Here’s to another year of growth, grit, and great rides. 🐴💛
We’re grateful for each and every one of you.

Since we re-launched our inclusive overnight camps at Camp Colley in 2024, we have given out $98,900 in camp scholarships… WHAT?!?!?!

I’m seriously so proud to share that number and honestly still a little shocked that we made that possible. A few major gifts helped us get here, but at the heart of everything we do is this: no child is ever turned away because of financial burden.

That’s who we are.
That’s The HEART Center.
Inclusion, belonging, and access- always.

Now that we’ve hit this milestone, it’s time to make sure we can keep saying “yes” to every family who needs support. Camp shouldn’t be something kids miss out on. Not here. Not ever.

So today for Giving Tuesday, we’re growing the Camp Scholarship Fund for 2026. Camp requests are already rolling in, and we want to know that without a doubt, we can ALWAYS say yes to a kiddo in need.

If this mission is part of your heart too, we’d love to have you join us. ❤️🐴
