This December, HRET experienced a devastating barn fire
While celebrating this joyful holiday season, unfortunately, Holistic Riding Equestrian Therapy (HRET) has been on an emotional roller coaster ride. In the midst of celebrating the arrival of our donated retired draft horse from Culver Academy, HRET was confronted with an emotionally devastating fire in the riding arena at our new farm. It was a "good" fire as it did not spread to the stall barn which would have been fatal to our beloved equine friends (Thank You God!). Read More

If your passion is to help HRET restore/repair and heat our arena, we need your financial help immediately. Removal & replacement of the physical and electrical damage is needed, including the charred insulation which emits an offensive odor, upsetting our riders with sensory issues.
The charred marks on the outdoor arena looked like Christmas trees to our volunteers, so with a little paint, they transformed it into a holiday scene for our riders. We have the best volunteers!
