With heavy hearts, we share the loss of Warpaint, a cherished member of our herd, today, Monday, December 30, 2024. Our therapy horses hold a special place in the hearts of everyone in our organization, from the staff to the youth in our equine programs to alumni who continue to carry fond memories, as well as parents and clients who have witnessed or experienced their transformative impact. Since the early 2000s, Warpaint has been a cornerstone of our riding and therapy programs. He touched countless lives, offering comfort in therapy sessions and guidance through riding lessons. His presence and gentle spirit will be deeply missed.
