At Autumn Trails Stable, we believe healing doesn’t always come in a doctor’s office — sometimes, it comes with four hooves and a whole lot of heart. For one young rider named Scarlett, that healing began the moment she met Ruby. Finding Hope Beyond Seizures Scarlett’s journey with epilepsy has been filled with obstacles. Despite medical treatments, her seizures remained frequent and unpredictable. These struggles left her feeling anxious, withdrawn, and unsure of how to express herself confidently. But when Scarlett started equine-assisted sessions at Autumn Trails Stable, something changed. A Special Bond with Ruby Scarlett was partnered with Ruby - a calm, gentle horse whose quiet strength mirrored what Scarlett needed most. Ruby seemed to understand her without words. On the tough days, Ruby’s presence alone brought comfort. On the better days, she became Scarlett’s biggest cheerleader. Through their bond, Scarlett began to blossom. “Ruby’s intuitive understanding of Scarlett’s needs, especially on difficult days, has been remarkable.” Confidence in the Saddle — and Beyond Since starting Adaptive Riding, Scarlett’s growth has been nothing short of inspiring. She’s walking taller - not just physically, thanks to improved core strength, but emotionally too. Her confidence is growing at school and in social settings. She’s smiling more. Speaking up more. And finding joy again. Of course, the magic doesn’t stop with the horses. Our dedicated staff and volunteers are always by Scarlett’s side, making sure she feels safe, supported, and seen. “It is evident that they are concerned with the whole child and go out of their way to provide a safe and fun environment.” - Scarlett’s Mom A Journey That’s Just Beginning Scarlett’s story is still unfolding, but one thing is certain: equine-assisted services have given her the strength to move forward with courage and hope.
