Yesterday was a very sad day at the barn as we laid our beloved mare Ellie Mae to rest.

Ellie Mae came to the barn over a decade ago. There was a point when Ellie was lame, and her owner, Tiffany, was told her only option was to put her down. Tiffany didn't want to give up on Ellie and reached out to Victoria Acres. Tiffany thought Victoria Acres might be a great step down for Ellie and was hoping that, with the proper care, Ellie could become sound and have the possibility of becoming a therapy horse.

Ellie then came in for a trial to evaluate not only her physical issues but also to get Ellie's opinion on being a therapy horse. Anyone who ever knew Ellie knows she had opinions. Needless to say, Ellie was able to overcome all of her physical limitations and enjoyed being a therapy horse. Ellie loved every rider she ever met. Whether she was teaching able-bodied riders or our therapeutic riders, Ellie was always a rockstar!

Ellie, thank you for your dedication to our programs and to our riders. You taught so many riders in your career at Victoria Acres and changed their lives forever.

Rest in peace, sweet mare; your job on earth is done.

Until we meet again....❤

Howdy everyone! 🤠 With the concert coming up tomorrow, I thought now would be a good time to officially introduce myself and share a bit about what Victoria Acres means to me. I apologize because this post is a little longer than what you're used to, but I hope you'll take the time to read. 🫶🏻

Hi, I'm Brianna! Some of you may have seen me around the barn, usually doing chores or grooming one of the horses (though I'm mostly there in the mornings). More recently, you'll find me down at the arena on Fridays watching my husband's lesson with our able-bodied instructor, Danielle!

I started working at Victoria Acres about a year ago, after growing up with a love of horses. A family member had a few that I was able to learn to help care for, and I went to a summer camp for a few years and learned to ride! Somewhere along the way, time and life got in the way (as it does for many of us), and a couple trail rides a year became my only connection to the animals I had loved so much growing up.

When I first started, my husband had just left on a deployment to the Middle East, and I was having a tough time dealing with it. My anxiety was the worst it had ever been, and over time the horses have helped me work through it just by being present. I might be biased, but I think we have a pretty special group. When I was having a bad day, they stood quietly and listened while I whispered into their manes. To me, the really are equine therapists. I am now a calmer, steadier version of myself; I even found my way back to other old hobbies I used to love along the way! Without Victoria Acres, I would not be who I am today, and for that I will forever be grateful. 🩵

So, I hope you'll come out tomorrow to support the place that means so much to not only me, but countless others throughout our community. We have a really fun evening planned for you, with food, music, raffles, and more! I hope to see you there, I'll be the girl taking pictures!! 📸 🤳🏻

Hi all, Felix here. As one of the more… experienced gentlemen at Victoria Acres, I’m usually consulted on all important matters around here. And by “consulted,” I mean I stand nearby, judge everyone’s decisions, and wait to see if treats are involved. 🍎

Today’s important matter: the Fall Charity Benefit Concert. 🍁🍂

Next Sunday, October 4th, the humans are taking over the pavilion at Western Turnpike Golf Course from 2–6 PM for an afternoon of live music, food, drinks, and supporting Victoria Acres.

Mike "Rooster" Richardson from Tame The Rooster and Cryin' Out Loud Live will be playing, and The Hedge Bistro will have food and drinks available for purchase. 🥤🍔

Tickets are $25 and you can grab yours ahead of time or at the door. I’m told both are perfectly acceptable forms of admission, although I still think a pocket full of peppermints should get you in somewhere.🍬

Come have some fun, listen to some great music, and support the place I’ve graciously allowed to take care of me all these years.
As for me, I’ll be back at the barn making sure everything is running smoothly. Or napping. 💤
At my age, I’ve earned the right to keep you guessing.

🗓️ Sunday, October 4 | 2–6 PM
📍 Western Turnpike Golf Course
🎟️ $25 | 21+ 🍺🍷

Hi everyone, Mana here this time! 🐎💜

The humans have been talking a LOT about the Fall Charity Benefit Concert, they say it’s coming up in less than a month!

They say it’s going to be tons of fun, I just don’t know why nobody invited me because I like music too.
