meet emma

Hi, I’m Emma! I’m 9, and I have Down syndrome. I love brushing the horses before I ride — it makes me feel calm and happy. When I’m on a horse, I feel tall and proud. Riding helps me with balance and strength, and it always makes me smile. Autumn Trails is my favorite place to be.

MEET MARCUS

Hi, I’m Marcus. I’m 12, and I have cerebral palsy. Walking is hard for me, but when I’m on a horse, I feel free. Riding helps stretch my muscles and makes me stronger. My favorite part is when the horse starts moving, because that’s when I feel unstoppable.

meet jacob

Hi, I’m Jacob, and I’m 11. I live in foster care, and sometimes I feel like I don’t have control over anything. At Autumn Trails, I get to help with barn chores, like feeding and sweeping. It makes me proud to be useful. My mentor says I’m dependable — no one’s ever said that about me before.

meet sofia

Hi, I’m Sofia. I’m 14, and I have ADHD. Sitting still in school is really hard, but when I’m with a horse, all my energy turns into focus. Riding makes me feel strong and capable. I’m learning to guide my horse — and myself.

meet ethan

Hi, I’m Ethan, and I’m 10. I have a prosthetic leg, which sometimes makes sports tough. But when I ride a horse, I feel fast and strong. I love the feeling of the wind when we trot — it’s like I can do anything.

meet grace

Hi, I’m Grace, and I’m 65. I have mobility challenges that make daily life harder, but when I ride at Autumn Trails, I feel strong again. The horses give me balance and freedom I don’t have anywhere else. I never thought I would be able to ride, but here I am — proving to myself that it’s never too late to grow.

Hi, I’m Daniel. I’m 15, and I’m adopted. Sometimes I’ve struggled to believe I belong anywhere. At Autumn Trails, I found a safe place where people listen and care.
