This Memorial Day, we pause to remember and honor the service members who lost their lives serving our country. ❤️🤍💙

At JHTR, we also recognize that service and sacrifice continue long after deployment ends. Through our Veterans programs, horses help create space for trust, confidence, connection, and healing.

Today, we remember those we’ve lost with gratitude and respect, and thank our supporters for making our programming possible, creating opportunities for local Veterans to have an empowering space to work through through trauma and PTSD.

Lennie is officially cleared to return to work! 🎉

Last season, Lennie underwent surgery to help with some arthritis. We are SO excited to have this sweet guy back in action this season, and perhaps no one is more excited than his buddy Ryan, who has been helping hand walk Lennie over the past couple weeks as he gets back into working shape. 💙

We remain incredibly grateful to everyone who helped make Lennie’s surgery and recovery possible, including and Dr. Kyle Heaton, our amazing vet team at , and Elizabeth Mannen Berges and Jim Berges for generously sponsoring his surgery.

Welcome back, Lennie!

What a fantastic first week of the 2026 season! 🩶🐴

We were so excited to welcome back familiar faces, meet new participants and volunteers, and kick off another season of growth, connection, and community at JHTR.

Turns out our excitement was justified, in part because our volunteers smashed it right out of the park! 🏆

A huge thank you to ALL of our amazing Week 1 volunteers:
Amy Schlinger, Andy Klein, Anne Ladd, Charlie Gulotta, Claire Perrin, Colleen Murray, Diana Nekic, Eileen Prugh, Isabelle Uptain, Jane Kusek, Janet Lewis, Jen Nissenberg, Jill Auerbach, Jim Klir, John Ambler, Jonesy Chauvot, Judy Dragonette, Kathy Bucks, Laura Shervin, Maggie Weissenburger, Matt Matthews, Odie Klein Cruz, Patti Drui, Patty Chapman, and Tina Zacco.

A special shoutout goes to and Robyn Reedy, who are officially the first lesson volunteers of the year to reach “Colt” level in our Volunteer Incentive Program! This means they each contributed 5+ hours of volunteer service during our very first week of the season!

Lastly, we’d like to give a warm welcome to several brand new volunteers already jumping right into the 2026 season:
🤍 Andy Klein
🤍 Diana Nekic
🤍 Isabelle Uptain
🤍 Maggie Weissenburger
🤍 Odie Klein Cruz

We couldn’t do this without all of you. Here’s to an incredible season ahead!

Old traditions back in action! ✨

This past year we brought back the tradition of awarding our Volunteer of the Year with a custom championship buckle, and we can’t think of anyone more deserving to have earned it than Laura.

Now that the buckle has officially entered the chat, the competition for this year is on! Who will wear the 2026 buckle? 👀

Welcome back, Crafty! This big, handsome guy is back at JHTR this year, thanks to his owner, , who is graciously lending him to our program for a second year in a row. 🙏

We are so grateful for community members like Maura, whose generosity allows this program to thrive, grow, and continue supporting as many participants as possible. 🩶

Crafty is as kind as he his handsome, and he is a very welcome addition to our herd. Stay tuned for content from his first lesson back tomorrow morning with his best bud, Marcus!

JHTR welcomed a kindergarten class from out to the barn last week as part of their community helpers unit!

Together, we talked about all the different kinds of helpers it takes to make our programs possible — from volunteers who lead horses and walk beside riders, to instructors and staff who care for both horses and participants, to the community members whose support helps keep our programs running.

And of course, we talked about some of our most important helpers of all: the horses themselves. 🐴

The students got to meet the horses, learn how they help people, give treats, and create thank-you cards for our helpers. Taco quickly became the celebrity of the day, receiving 7 out of 11 cards!

Please reach out if you are in the JH community and feel that an experience like this would be valuable to your own students, or other group. We love getting to share how horses and humans work together to help build a stronger, more caring community.

One of the many things we are grateful for at JHTR is the adaptive equipment that helps us make horseback riding more accessible for more participants. 🙏

This reel shows some of our new instructors, and Charlie Brown 🐴, practicing how to safely operate our electric lift. For some riders, this lift is what makes participation possible; it allows us to safely serve individuals who may not otherwise be able to mount a horse through traditional methods, helping us create a more inclusive and adaptable program for people with a wide range of abilities.

We’re incredibly grateful to the donors and supporters that have allowed us to invest in tools like this, that allow us to continue empowering ability for a wide range of participants. 🤍
