Hi everyone!
My name is Gabrielle Migliore, and I am so excited to be a Team Ambassador for Therapeutic Horses of Saratoga and the Horses for Mental Health Campaign. Horses have shaped my entire life. My first experience with how beneficial horses are to human mental health was when I was volunteering at Pegasus Therapeutic Riding Academy in high school. To see how impactful just an hour of riding was for individuals within the program solidified everything I already knew about horses and their effects on us as people. Horses opened our students up to vulnerability and honest expression of their emotions. The students were able to communicate efficiently, guided by their equine companions.
I have been blessed to be touched by more than one wonderfully special horse. Each one taught me different but incredibly important lessons on how to connect with others and be kind to myself in the process. I would not be who I am without horses, and I believe everyone should have the same opportunities I’ve been lucky enough to experience. Therapeutic Horses of Saratoga offers people the same healing that I have felt, and so many others deserve to have a chance at that feeling. These horses are the most wonderful healers and deserve all of our support!
Thank you for taking the time to read this and for supporting Therapeutic Horses of Saratoga!
Gabrielle

Gabi and her dad have been so welcoming of me as I’ve settled into the racing community in Saratoga and her love of horses reminds me of my daughter, Kimberly.
