Happy herd.🙏🏻

We hope everyone is having an amazing summer!!

We certainly don’t want to kill the vibe, but as fall approaches, we are preparing for shorter days. CTRC is looking for sand and arena lighting donations so we can keep things rocking when the seasons change. If you know anyone that has access to sand or posts, poles, powerful lights to keep playing when the sun goes down, please reach out!

All donations are 💯 and will help us to serve more of our community!

Record breaking attendance at this year’s Fayetteville Pride Parade! Thank you to all of our walkers and horse decorators!

We believe in equality for all and that diversity is a beautiful thing. We are forever allies and we celebrate our families and friends!🏳️‍🌈 You’ve always supported us. We will always support you.

What a beautiful morning we enjoyed with our friends from Prairie Grove Schools!

Students groomed horses, painted, learned to lead through obstacles, made cookies for the horses, and had an excellent picnic lunch in the grass.

Can’t wait for next time.💜

Hey there Courage People 👋
Courage is looking to purchase a well loved riding lawn mower...we are so excited!! Anyone know someone ready to upgrade or sell this season?

Tell us it’s spring without telling us it’s spring...

The storms this week produced extremely high winds… We will be out tomorrow making some repairs to the roof again. Hopefully, for the last time for a while. Feel free to stop by and lend a hand.

All horses, cows, and humans are safe.🙏🏻💜

We currently have two scholarship placements for children/teens in foster care! Help us spread the word to these busy families who may benefit from our services this spring and summer.💜 Thanks to our sponsors at Cheap Sleep Furniture And Mattress for making this possible!

We are lucky to have such a happy herd and we'd like to share our herd with yours.

Tonight we spent time with the Equine Assisted Activities and Therapies class from the experiencing abstract learning fun in the arena. The sunset over the horses was a perfect ending to a great experience for all.🐎

Live from the scene! 🌈

Mondays are for crunching carrots in the shade at the round table… if you’re Lucky, that is.

We are so proud of our working herd! 🙌🏼

Thank you to students for coming out and learning about how horses can be a part of so many types of healing. We hope to see you again! Abby enjoyed her time with you all so much.

You may think horses give kisses for fun, but what they’re doing is exchanging air from both nostrils (both sides) of the face... Recording details about your scent and interaction… they’ll remember that air share. How they remember it depends on what and how it is delivered. This particular moment lasted for about a minute. Switching back and fourth, collecting information, and maintaining soft and gentle movements… That’s pretty special.

We are so lucky to have healthy and safe horses after the winds took our roofs. To the variety of kind and selfless people that showed up for four days to put the barns back together- we won’t forget it. This place is yours too.💚💜💚 www.couragetrc.org for info about our organization.🐴

Special thanks to Ambassador Home Maintenance, Hunt Homes NWA, Realtors, Warhorse Legacy Foundation, Inc., and all of our family, friends, and friends of family!

When your new friends mom and your dad are busy building a roof....what's a girl to do?

Last push
We've got the bones back up on the mare shed...today will be the metal roof. If you can swing in for a few hours...or the whole morning...please do! And thanks to everyone who keeps showing up!

Well Mother Nature decided we needed some new roofs I suppose.

Courage could sure use some help this morning. If anyone has rolling magnets to come walk the fields and muscle to pick up debris.

GOOD MORNING and happy Monday from Courage!

The connection for this individual and Abby shines through in this picture ❤️
