Snowstorm or not… our herd is living their best life. ❄️🤎
While the flakes are flying, they’re out there munching hay together, calm as can be, with extra treats and extra love.

They have access to a warm, deep-straw run if they want shelter — but as you’ll see in the video, they often choose to enjoy the weather instead. 😂

Our horses live outside 24/7, and when their basic needs are met — plenty of forage, fresh water, shelter, and social interaction — stalls aren’t necessary for happiness or health. Freedom, friends, and forage make for the happiest herd!

With unlimited hay, fresh water, and lots of love, this is exactly where they want to be. They truly love this weather.

A little throwback that still makes us smile.
Lincoln and Henry were always the life of the party when it came to rockin’ around the tree. 🎄✨
Nothing beats those simple barn moments filled with joy, friendship, and a whole lot of personality.

Today we’re feeling extra thankful for the real heart of Riverside — our horses.
Taking good care of them is always our top priority. A healthy, happy herd is what keeps this whole place going.

And honestly… it’s the little moments that get us every time.
The soft eyes, the slow breaths, the quiet nudges — all those tiny signs of trust and peace.

We’re grateful for them every single day.

Every season with horses is a blessing, but something about a Christmas-decorated barn just warms the heart. 🎄🤎 Our herd may live on full turnout, but they still enjoy stepping into a cozy, welcoming barn and we love making it special.

A note from one of our parents ❤️

“Over the past few months, my daughter has come back to life in ways we never expected. Riverside has given her confidence, purpose, and genuine happiness again. She looks forward to every day—yes, even the messy barn chores! We are deeply grateful.”

As we head into this season of gratitude, we’re especially thankful for our clients, the families who trust us, and the relationships we’ve built along the way.
Every day, we’re reminded how powerful horses, hard work, and a caring community can be.
Lives change here, and we’re honored to be a part of it.
