Open My World Therapeutic Riding Center is made up of people from all walks of life, different backgrounds, different stories, and different journeys.
Horses don't care who you love, how you identify, what you look like, or where you come from. They care that you show up, put in the work, and treat them with kindness.
This month is a reminder that everyone deserves to feel welcome, accepted, and safe in the spaces they ride, learn, and belong in.
So here's to celebrating diversity, supporting one another, and making our community a place where everyone can be themselves.

We shared this earlier in the week in our story, but wanted to make sure that everyone knew how excited we are to announce that we are the 2026 recipients of the McGuffin Creative Group, website grant. They will be working with us to redesign our website, allowing us to communicate our mission and our programs more effectively. This is HUGE for Open My World and we are so proud of our little organization for making such a big impact on others, inspiring them to want to support the work we do.
Stay tuned for updates!
