Congratulations to Nicole – Outstanding Program of the Year!

We’re thrilled to share that Nicole’s Senior Horsemanship Program has been recognized by the Michigan Association of Senior Centers as Outstanding Program of the Year!

This innovative program gives older adults the unique opportunity to connect with horses in a safe and supportive environment. Participants enjoy hands-on learning through grooming, leading, and bonding activities, as well as beginner-friendly riding sessions that build balance, posture, and confidence.

Beyond the barn, the program fosters fitness, stress relief, and meaningful social connections—reminding us that adventure and growth have no age limit.

Join us in congratulating Nicole on this well-deserved honor and for creating a program that truly flips the script on aging!
