🎉What a wonderful day at our Bar-B-Que at the Barn! 🐴❤️
This year, we moved our end-of-year Rider & Volunteer Appreciation Picnic to the summer and gave it a BBQ at the Barn theme! We love having the opportunity to celebrate our riders and all they have accomplished throughout the riding season while thanking our incredible volunteers and their families for making every lesson possible.
The afternoon was filled with delicious food, carnival-style games, sensory activities, raffle baskets, photo opportunities, visits with our horses and some special barnyard friends, plenty of laughter, and wonderful memories. We wrapped up the day with the long-awaited Pie an Instructor event—the grand finale reward from this year’s Cash Calendar Challenge!
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended and to all of the volunteers, family members, and Board of Directors who worked throughout the event, helped behind the scenes, ran activities, and stayed afterward to clean up. Your generosity and willingness to help made it possible for everyone to relax, have fun, and enjoy the celebration together.
A special thank you to Dubelicious Grille for the wonderful meal, Fran's Dairy Bar for the delicious ice cream, Mia's Cuddle Corner for bringing some adorable animal friends to visit, our talented volunteer face painters for sharing their time and creativity with our families, and everyone who donated prizes, and supplies. Your support helped make the day extra special!
While BBQ at the Barn was our annual Rider & Volunteer Appreciation Celebration, there is still another fun day at the barn to look forward to! Whether you joined us for the BBQ or couldn’t make it this time, we hope you’ll join us for our Reindeer & Sleigh Holiday Photos Fundraiser Event on Saturday, November 14, from 11:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m. This festive fundraiser is open to everyone and is a wonderful way to kick off the holiday season while supporting the mission of Eos Therapeutic Riding Center.
Thank you for being part of the Eos family! ❤️🐴
