Monday Morning Horsepower! 🏁

What a wheely great Saturday! Horse & Buddy was thrilled to once again be part of the annual Triangle Z Car Show, held this year at Leith Nissan of Cary! We’ve been honored to join this horsepower-packed tradition for many years, and we always look forward to presenting the Horse & Buddy trophy.

This year’s winner was a very special 280Z, chosen by Janet and her Mom, Barb! What made this car stand out? A father and son rebuilt and painted it together right in their garage. Now THAT is a partnership with some serious horsepower!

Congratulations to the winners, and a big thank you to the Triangle Z community and Leith Nissan of Cary for continuing to welcome Horse & Buddy year after year. We love being part of a community that appreciates a little horsepower, whether it has four wheels or four hooves!

We hope everyone had a wheelie good time! Until next year, keep those engines purring and those hooves trotting! 🐎🏎️

FALL BACK… AND CATCH A FEW EXTRA ZZZs! ⏰

We hope everyone enjoyed that extra hour of sleep last night! Apparently, Dylan got the memo! The photo says it all… he's taking full advantage of his extra hour and enjoying a little beauty rest!

Of course, not all the horses are quite as impressed with the time change. Breakfast is breakfast, and hay is always on the schedule, no matter what the clock says!

As we settle into shorter days, cooler mornings, and beautiful fall afternoons, we're looking forward to making the most of every daylight hour at the barn.

Have a neigh-mazing Sunday, everyone!

🎉 WEEKEND FUN & A LUCKY WINNER! 🐴

The results are in for our 50/50 raffle, aka P**P BINGO! And Madeline was quite proud of herself this morning after breakfast when she headed out to the pasture and chose the lucky number 5!

And guess who purchased lucky number 5? Our very own, long-time volunteer Catherine Sisson! Congratulations, Catherine! We think Madeline may have earned herself some extra pats the next time Catherine is out volunteering! 😉

A HUGE thank you to everyone who purchased a number and supported Horse & Buddy through this FUNraiser! Your support helps keep our programs going and our herd happy and healthy.

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

What’s Going on Wednesday?

Recently, we were honored to be chosen by Kia of Fokus Creative Photography to be photographed!

Kia beautifully captured a day in the life of Horse & Buddy — the fall light, the smiles, the calming presence of our horses, and the dedication of our staff and volunteers supporting our participants.

We’re so grateful to Kia for capturing the special moments that make our barn so meaningful!

Looking for a photographer? We highly recommend Kia and Fokus Creative Photography for your photography needs!

🌞 Monday Smiles from Horse & Buddy! 🐴

We’re sharing just a tiny handful of the thousands of photos captured by our staff and volunteers at our Annual Horse Show over a week ago!

Despite the rain, wind, and cold, the smiles shine through! We are so proud of all our participants, from our riders and ground lesson participants to our fabulous Silver Saddles ladies, who even performed a drill team routine!

A HUGE thank-you to our dedicated staff and volunteers who kept everything running all weekend long, and to our amazing participant families who cheered from the arena fence and supported the show as sponsors. It truly takes a whole team to make a weekend like this special!

We’re all still smiling, and we hope this little peek at our horse show brings a smile to your Monday morning, too!

Happy Monday from all of us at Horse & Buddy!

TODAY, WE REST!

If Colby says it’s time to rest, who are we to argue? 😂

What an amazing weekend at our Horse & Buddy horse show! Despite the rain, wind, and mud on Saturday, there was no dampening all the smiles, cheers, and special moments all weekend.

Yesterday was a staff retreat day, and today we’re following Colby’s lead and taking a little time to rest and recharge!

We’ll be back tomorrow, Wednesday, with our regularly scheduled riding lessons and Equine Assisted Learning sessions.

📸 Stay tuned for horse show photos! We have LOTS to share and can’t wait for you to see all the fun!

Monday Motivation: Passing the Braid!

We’re combining Silver Saddles + HORSETOBER this Monday to celebrate the special horse-human connection!

Last week, we had a blast welcoming the Siler City Center for Living for lunch and an afternoon of horse-filled fun. Thanks to a generous grant from the Galloway Ridge Community Foundation, we welcomed the Pittsboro Center for Living in the spring and the Siler City Center for Living this fall for special Silver Saddles experiences.

These folks traveled station to station with our amazing Equine Specialists, testing their horse knowledge with trivia, enjoying some grooming time, and showing some creativity with braids! They wrote about their own horse-human connections on butterfly ribbons and braided them into the horses’ manes (and even one tail!). Each ribbon carried a reminder of the connections we share with these incredible animals.

Now we're passing the braid! 🦋 What has a horse taught you about connection, kindness, or yourself? Share your story and keep the Horses for Mental Health HORSETOBER celebration going!

FRIDAY FUN AT THE FARM!

We had a wonderful time welcoming Preston Pointe to Horse & Buddy for their first Silver Saddles visit… and we have a feeling this fine group will be back!

There were smiles all around as everyone groomed our horses, wrote sweet messages to them on ribbons to decorate their manes, watched them parade to the music, and, of course, enjoyed the very important job of handing out treats!

A little horse time, a lot of laughter, and plenty of happy faces. What a fun day at the barn! Thank you, Preston Pointe, for spending time with us! ❤

Thankful Thursday: A Little Horsin’ Around!

We’re excited to share a few photos from this week’s Silver Saddles visit, starting with UNC Rex of Apex, who joined us Wednesday morning!

This small group made a BIG impact on our morning! From spending time with the horses to sharing stories from the past, the morning was filled with connection, laughter, and meaningful moments for ALL.

And a special shout-out to our amazing volunteers who shared their time, their passion, a helping hand, and a listening ear. ❤️ Whether helping with the horses or taking time to hear a story, you make these mornings extra special.

Thank you, UNC Rex of Apex, for spending your morning with us, and thank you to our volunteers for being such a wonderful part of the Horse & Buddy family!

Stay tuned for more Silver Saddles smiles from this week! 📸🐴
