Happy New Year! We have an amazing year coming up with some BIG changes to be announced soon! Stayed tuned...

If you couldn't make it out last night for our birthday celebration at Devils Backbone Brewing Company, here is our surprise announcement! Tenney Mudge, a longtime board member, has wrote a children's book on the life of her horse, Blueberry. As many of you know, Blueberry was a special horse who impacted many lives during his years at Hoofbeats. A portion of the book sales will benefit Hoofbeats. You can pre-order the book via the publisher Mariner Media, Inc. using this link: https://marinermedia.com/product/preorder-blueberrys-gift/ Thank you all who came out last night! We had a blast.
