Christmas is in the air at Equessense! 🎄 This week, our amazing riders got creative hanging ornaments in the trees while spending quality time with their favorite horses. It’s the perfect mix of holiday cheer and love. Who needs elves when you have these awesome helpers? ❤️🐴

Horses really do not like the dentist but Chelaine is amazing. She has built so much trust and has such a wonderful bond with our horses. They know she is there to comfort, love and support them.

🌟 A Heartfelt Thank You from Equessense 🌟

We want to extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who has donated to support our beloved therapy horse, Izzy. Your generosity means the world to us.

A special shout-out to our incredible farrier, Brandon Rogers, for responding so quickly to help relieve Izzy’s pain and make her comfortable again. We also want to thank Retama Equine for being so prompt in scheduling her much-needed X-rays.

After just one week of specialized care, she is comfortable and making progress, but the journey ahead is both lengthy and costly. With specialized casts, ongoing farrier visits, and regular X-rays, the expenses are adding up quickly.

🙏 Please consider donating today. Every contribution not only supports Izzy’s recovery but also helps sustain our entire program for the benefit of all our wonderful riders.

🌟 Help Support Izzy’s Recovery 🌟

Equessense Therapeutic is a nonprofit organization located in Seguin, utilizing horses in a therapeutic approach to enhance the lives of individuals with a wide range of abilities and needs.

Our beloved horse Izzy, part of the Equessense family, is currently battling acute laminitis and will be out of the program for a while.

Izzy has a long road to recovery ahead, and her care is essential to ensuring she returns to full health. In addition to Izzy’s needs, we continue to care for our other horses in the program.

We need your help! Please consider donating whatever you can to support Izzy’s recovery and the ongoing care of our horses. If you can’t donate, we’d appreciate it if you could share this post to spread the word. Every little bit helps! ❤️

Thank you for being part of the Equessense community!

Help Equessense reach their goal by donating or sharing with your friends.

We had some fun holiday activities here at Equessense to celebrate the 4th of July! Steven loved searching for flags in the woods. The challenge was grabbing the flag from our volunteer Martha and handing it to Ashli on the other side. Activities like this are great for horse therapy because they stimulate bilateral coordination and cognitive function. By engaging both sides of the body and brain, Steven strengthens neural pathways, improving his motor skills and spatial awareness. Way to go, Steven!! 🎇🐴

To add a fun twist to the game, Martha put a flag in her hair! Steven definitely let us know that’s not where it belongs 😂 See his reaction in the last photo!

🎆 Happy 4th of July from all of us at Equessense! 🇺🇸 We hope everyone has a safe, joyful, and fun-filled holiday. 🎇

Hi everyone! We are on the lookout for an Abetta all-around lightweight synthetic saddle (or something very similar) with a 16” or 17” seat and a 7” gullet, specifically one that will fit our sweet Izzy comfortably.

If you or someone you know has an Abetta or a similar lightweight saddle in good used condition that you’re willing to donate or sell at a low price, we’d be incredibly grateful! Your generosity will directly support our equine therapy program and make a big difference in the lives of those we help. We can also provide a tax write-off slip for your donation.

Thank you so much for your continued support! 💜

Today, we are thrilled to give a huge shoutout to our newest rider, DJ! Over the past few months, DJ has been diligently working with our volunteer Ashli and our faithful old friend Poncho. Together, they’ve been learning all about horses, from saddling basics to building the confidence needed for that first ride.

Recently, we knew DJ was ready to get in the saddle, and look at how amazing he did! DJ was all smiles as he learned to do stretches, hold the reins, and understand the basics of horsemanship. Through equine therapy, he’s discovered so much joy and gained invaluable skills. We’re so proud of his progress and excited to see where this journey takes him. 🐴❤️

Elisha was so excited to see her best friend Cloudy! We did our stretches and enjoyed a leisurely ride around the new place. I think Cloudy was thrilled to have her favorite girl back in the saddle. 🐴💕

Gavin’s first time at the new place was a huge success! He was thrilled to see his beloved horse, Izzy, and was especially excited to spend time with Faith, his favorite volunteer. To keep things familiar, we did our stretches and played his favorite ring toss game. 😊❤️

We’re a little late to post this, but we just had to share the awesome pictures from the birthday party we threw for our amazing rider, Destiny, a couple of months ago. The day was filled with joy as she celebrated with all her favorite volunteers and her special friend, Poncho. Everyone was all smiles! 💕

Special thanks to our volunteer, Ciara, for capturing these awesome photos 📸 Be sure to check out her photography page, Mat-Mo Photography, and give her a follow!
