Counting Our Blessings!

Dear Friends of The Pony Express,


Giving Tuesday is a day where everyone, everywhere can do something to support the good causes and communities that mean so much to them. It is a day to celebrate giving in all its forms and encourage people to give back in any way they can. It is a day that speaks to the heart and soul of the countless ways The Pony Express has been connecting horses with humans to make for a better humanity since 1982. Most importantly, it is a day we count our blessings for you!


Albert Einstein once said, " Everything that can be counted does not always count; and everything that counts can't always be counted."


As humans it is our nature to count, measure, and test. It is how we evaluate. The proof is in the data. But what do those tests show, and more importantly, what don’t they show? In our outdoor classroom where our horses are teachers there is a safe seat at our stable for one and all. Our horses hold the space, and it can’t be measured. Within that space there is a partnership of trust that honors honesty without judgement. That too, can’t be measured. It is the foundation that all of our Equine Assisted Horse Courses in humanity are built on. Best of all, there are no grades given and no one fails to learn. 


It is as Temple Grandin says, “hands on learning teaches valuable skills.” Transferable skills that may be difficult to measure but are well worth their merit. Our programs offer opportunities to learn more about ourselves through the eyes of a horse. They have the innate ability to see our potential, even when we don’t. It is a gift they give us with a value that is invaluable. Horse support can make a difference when all other means that are measured fall short. We are counting the ways and creating the means to continue to make this possible. We are grateful, thankful, and hopeful for your continued support. Thank you! 

Horses change kids. Kids change the world.

Celebrating the Gift that Keeps on Giving!


Nonprofits like The Pony Express not only rely heavily on shared humanity and generosity but are founded on it. Created in 2012, Giving Tuesday was born as a simple idea: it's a day that encourages people to do good. Since then, it has grown into a year-round global movement, inspiring hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.

Dottie Saved My Life!

The walls in our classroom share the real-life stories lived and learned through the eyes of a horse at The Pony Express Ranch. Stories of hope and courage, new beginnings to replace old endings that no longer serve us well. Our horses guide us on a path to being present with purpose so we can reimagine, reinvent, and reboot, all in horse time. We are grateful, thankful, and hopeful that our future and yours are bright with the possibility of rewriting the story of our lives through the eyes of a horse.

Thank you!

Homage to Our Horse Partners


Horses don’t see our labels; they don’t read our charts.


Every day is a new day, and with it a fresh start.


I look into my horse's eyes and see not what I have done.


I look and I see what I hope to become. 


With my horse I am present, I am strong.


My heart is full, my mind is calm.


The science says it’s so, this place of peace that horses know.


Outside in nature and in hand horses, they hold a safe space for us to go.


Taking in the wisdom of horses from the ground. It is so simple yet so profound.  


The path to peace is a partnership between four legs and two.


 That which you thought you could not do.


Horses teach us you can, and you will when you honor your truth!
