Ray Graham Association Hanson Center

🐴🏗️ Even during our off week, the barn is BUSY behind the scenes! ✨

New arena footing is going in, improvements are underway, and our therapeutic horsemanship program continues building toward an even stronger season ahead at the Hanson Center! 💚💜🐎

Of course, none of this could happen without Jack the Barn Cat carefully “supervising” the entire project… probably from the most important construction position possible. 🐱👷‍♂️😂

We can’t wait to welcome everyone back soon with fresh footing, exciting improvements, and plenty more adventures ahead! ✨🐾

Thank you to these ladies for getting the barn ready for summer and the horse show — donating their time, talent, and creativity! Hanging baskets using halters!

🐎✨ More Than Riding. Built Through Connection. ✨🐎

We’re excited to continue growing our Therapeutic Horsemanship program at Ray Graham Association—and to do that, we’re proud to officially welcome Brianna Cortez into her new full-time role as a Program Specialist for our Therapeutic Recreation Services💚

Brianna will have a strong presence at the barn, supporting experiences that go far beyond the saddle:

🐎 Instructor
🐾 Small animal specialist
🎉 Birthday party and group experiences host
🌟 A key part of daily operations

Because at RGA Horsemanship… it’s more than riding.
It’s connection, confidence, and meaningful experiences built every day.

In addition, Brianna will continue her program leadership with Gateway SRA while helping grow our social media presence—sharing the stories, moments, and impact happening across programs 👀

Her passion, versatility, and connection with participants make her an incredible addition to this next chapter.

💚 Please join us in welcoming Brianna to her new role!

Way to go!

With the help of his volunteers…one of our Saturday riders applies what he has learned and rides his horse through the course independently!
