There is something truly special about being part of Dream Riders of Kentucky.

The connection between our riders and horses is powerful, and our volunteers help make that magic possible.

We are currently seeking volunteers for our classes on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday evenings, and Saturday mornings. Volunteers help groom and tack our horses, and walk alongside our riders to support them throughout their lessons.

To our current volunteers:
If each of you invited just one friend or family member who shares your heart for serving others, we could double our volunteer team and open the barn doors to even more members of our community.

If you’d like to join us, please send us a private message with your email address, and we’ll send over the volunteer application. We would be honored to welcome you into the Dream Riders family.

💙 Meet a few of the incredible faces behind the Dream Riders of Kentucky Outreach Team!

This special group of staff and volunteers helps carry our mission beyond the barn and into the heart of our community. Whether they’re visiting nursing homes, assisted living facilities, memory care communities, or community events, they share smiles, compassion, and meaningful connections everywhere they go.

The joy our miniature ponies bring to residents is truly remarkable. Seeing faces light up, hearing stories shared, and watching memories come alive during each visit reminds us why this work is so important. But the experience is just as rewarding for our staff and volunteers, who leave each visit with full hearts and a renewed sense of purpose.

Our outreach team plays a vital role in spreading the Dream Riders mission throughout Owensboro and the surrounding area. Their dedication, kindness, and willingness to serve make a lasting impact on everyone they meet.

Thank you to this amazing team for being such wonderful ambassadors for Dream Riders of Kentucky and for sharing the healing power of horses with our community. 💙🐴

🌟 Exciting Partnership Announcement! 🌟

Dream Riders of Kentucky is thrilled to announce our new partnership with Orphan Care Alliance (OCA) — a nonprofit dedicated to supporting vulnerable children and families across Southern Indiana and Kentucky.

Through OCA’s scholarship program, children and teens impacted by foster care and adoption can now participate in therapeutic services that may not be covered by insurance. This partnership helps ensure that every child who needs the healing power of horses has access to it.

We are honored to work alongside local organizations who share our commitment to strengthening families and supporting youth in our community.

If you are an organization serving foster or adoptive families — or if you are a foster or adoptive family yourself — and your child could benefit from our services, please reach out to Dream Riders. We would love to talk with you about this wonderful opportunity!

💔 It is with heavy hearts that we share the unexpected passing of our beloved Lady earlier today.

Just three short weeks ago, Lady retired from her role at Dream Riders of Kentucky after many years of faithful service. During her time with us, she touched the lives of hundreds of riders, providing confidence, comfort, healing, and countless memories. Her gentle spirit and unwavering patience made her a favorite among riders, volunteers, and staff alike.

We are forever grateful for the years we were blessed to have Lady as part of our program and for the incredible impact she made on so many lives. Her legacy will continue to live on through the riders she helped and the hearts she touched.

We would also like to extend our deepest gratitude to Benny Clark and Paula Hedden for giving Lady the perfect retirement home. In her final weeks, she was surrounded by two horse companions and all the love, attention, treats, and snuggles a horse could ever want. We find comfort in knowing she spent her last days cherished and adored.

Run free, sweet Lady. Thank you for everything you gave to our Dream Riders family. You will be deeply missed, but never forgotten. ❤️🐴

Yesterday, our outreach team of dedicated staff and volunteers loaded up two very special visitors, Pixie and Dolly, and headed to Hermitage Nursing & Rehabilitation Facility for a day filled with smiles, laughter, and connection.

There’s something truly magical about the joy our miniature ponies bring to residents. From warm hugs and gentle nuzzles to stories shared and memories rekindled, Pixie and Dolly have a way of brightening hearts and creating meaningful moments.

Thank you to the residents and staff at Hermitage for welcoming us. Seeing the smiles on everyone’s faces reminds us why these visits are so important. ❤️🐴

We are grateful for our volunteers and staff who help make these special outreach opportunities possible!
