As some of you have heard, one of our own was involved in a terrible accident yesterday while out riding with her sister. Hilary sustained significant injuries including a badly broken pelvis and sacrum. She spent last night in the trauma center in traction with surgery today to stabilize her pelvis.
If you have ever had the pleasure of meeting Hilary, you know she is one of the hardest working, kindest individuals in the horse industry. She has dedicated her life to the comfort and wellbeing of our equine partners and has recently started riding again after a hiatus to raise her beautiful twin daughters. Hilary also has the privilege of being an incredible step mother and wife, and cares for her own retired horses at home.
Hilary has a long road to recovery ahead of her. We all know the sacrifices it takes to be self employed in this industry. You sacrifice health care, benefits, your free time, sometimes family time just to keep a roof over your head. If you are able to help, please consider a donation to help Hilary and her family through this trying time and what promises to be a difficult recovery.

She’s home!!! A couple months of R&R to let the bones heal and then she’ll be back in fighting shape ;)! Thank you all who have donated and continue to donate, I know it means the WORLD to Hil and her family. I’ve seen some people donate that don’t even know her, and that is a testament to the horse community and the support we offer one another. Thank you all so much ❤️

We have reached an important milestone in just two days of fundraising! Enough funds to offset one entire MONTH of lost wages that Hilary would normally be bringing home 🎉🥳! Thank you all so much!
Hilary had surgery this morning and is awake and doing great! Prognosis is good, and fingers crossed this will be the one and only procedure she has to endure. Keep those positive thoughts and well wishes coming, it will brighten her day!
