When Mia first arrived at PonyUp4Kids, she barely spoke. At just 10 years old, she had already endured more than most adults—her family had fled domestic violence, and she was navigating the emotional aftermath in silence. Traditional therapy hadn’t reached her. But then she met Cody, a pony with a gentle spirit and a story of survival of his own.
At first, Mia simply brushed Cody’s coat, quietly listening to the rhythmic sound of hooves on soft earth. Over time, she began to talk—to Cody, then to her instructor, and finally to other children in the program. She learned to lead, to ride, and to trust. Each session built her confidence, one hoofbeat at a time.
Mia isn’t alone. Every week, children and adults from underserved communities, veterans and their families, cancer patients, individuals with autism, and those in recovery from addiction come to PonyUp4Kids seeking healing. What they find is more than just a horse—they find connection, compassion, and a path forward.
