"When I first came to chaps I was actually afraid of horses. Stemming from a bad past experience. But within a week I not only knew the horses names but I was grooming them. The staff here is absolutely amazing and has empathy like no other. I truly appreciate everything that Chaps did for me."

Our volunteers are the heart of this place. Every hour you give, every bit of energy you share, helps build more than just a program, it builds community, hope, and connection. Thank you for making a difference in ways both big and small. We couldn’t do this without you. 💛🐴

The pond welcomed a pair of eagles over the weekend. Watching them soar overhead and settle near the water was nothing short of breathtaking. Moments like these remind us of the strength, grace, and wild beauty all around us. 🦅💙

We are forever grateful for that day we brought Lindsey to CHAPS in 2016. It has made a major difference in her life. Lindsey was a 6-year-old when we started, and we quickly noticed her speech coming back after being almost voiceless since the onset of autism symptoms around age 2. Still after all these years, she still enjoys her horse therapy day. Thank you Ms. Jeannie, Chaps staff and volunteers for all you have done for Lindsey.

Life on the farm comes with the sweetest surprises, like a bunny friend stopping by to say hello. 🌿💛

"My son has an ASD diagnosis and has been going to CHAPS for adaptive riding lessons for several years. They are very willing to incorporate current goals from other therapies, as well as work at your child's pace. We love it here!"

💛 A huge thank you to our incredible volunteers who still showed up on Labor Day weekend to make sure our Adaptive Riding Sessions could still happen. Because of you, our riders and horses had another great day together. We’re so grateful for this community! Thank You!!🐴✨

🍂 Volunteer All Call! 🍂

As the weather starts to cool down and school is underway, we’re excited to bring back Wednesday afternoon sessions starting mid September! That means more smiles, more horse time, and more opportunities to be part of something meaningful.

Volunteering at CHAPS is more than lending a hand, it’s about building community, creating connections, and witnessing lives grow and flourish through the joy of horses.

Whether you’ve been with us before or are looking to join in, we’d love to have you on the team.

🐴 Come lend a hand, share in the fun, and feel the rewards of giving back.

"I have been volunteering at CHAPS for over seven years and they have become my second family. It is the highlight of the week seeing the students blossom, interacting with the other volunteers, and handling the horses. Finally, I cannot overstate my appreciation to the people who make this possible "

Turns out it’s not just the ducks who love the pond… Ace decided to dip his toes in too! 🐴 🦆😁

☀️ Sweet Ace was soaking up his day off with a nap in the sunshine today 🐴 Our horses are so good at their jobs, and we love seeing them get to rest, relax, and just be horses. 💛

Sometimes words aren’t needed 💛 Just a quiet moment, a gentle hand, and the understanding between horse and human.

Sometimes it's in these small connections that the biggest magic happens. 🐴✨
