I am proud to support Therapeutic Horses of Saratoga (THS) – a place that has meant so much to me since I began volunteering in 2021.

As a lifelong horse lover, my time at THS has started a new chapter for me.  I learned how to truly be with the horses – to slow down, observe their subtle communication with each other and with us, and appreciate their quiet presence.  The calm, peaceful energy of the farm is undeniable, but what surprised me most was how I feel while I am there.

Over the past year, I have fallen in love with Breezy, one of the therapy horses.  She is a six-year-old thoroughbred – warm, gentle, friendly, and always ready for a snuggle.  Spending time with this special girl has allowed me to experience firsthand the profound impact horses can have on our mental well-being.

THS is a truly special place where these incredible animals offer us the opportunity to experience their serenity – and in doing so, find a sense of calm within ourselves.  And it’s not just the horses. The people at THS are equally remarkable – kind, caring, welcoming, and deeply committed to giving back.  It’s the combination of horses and humans that creates a supportive, healing environment.

Through their work in our local community, THS provides team-building experiences, supports members of our military and veterans, and offers equine-assisted psychotherapy – using meaningful interactions with horses to promote both physical and emotional well-being.

If you’re able, please consider making a donation this month to support their mission.  Your generosity helps continue the powerful connection between humans and horses – and the healing that comes with it.
