Into the Future

The new covered arena is on its way.  This is a dream that will really come true in the very near future.  The expansion will allow us to have  a year-round program and expand to meet our ever-growing wait list.  We will have the help of Clark Construction, Lescure Company, and McGuire and Hester, among others, to make this dream come true.  This is the beginning of our $150,000.00 campaign.  I know that is a huge amount of money, but with your help I know we can  reach our goal.  Your donation will mean so much to so many.

All donations are 100% tax deductible.

Please consider donating at one of these levels,

but no donation is too small:

$100.00     $250.00     $500.00     $1000.00

Xenophon on KTVU

Bob MacKenzie, the Emmy Award-winning reporter for KTVU News, came to Xenophon to do a story highlighting the benefits of therapeutic riding and the wonders it can do for children with autism.

Rupert Isaacson spoke to sold-out crowds at the screening of his film, The Horse Boy, in Berkeley on Saturday night.   The film is a powerful saga of his trek across Mongolia on horseback, with his autistic son to see a shaman in the northernmost region of the country. It is a heartwarming, insightful, and entertaining film.

Xenophon was there, along with Access Adventure, with  displays about our programs.

Look for it in a theater near you.

Chevron executives came to Xenophon again this year.  The task was to pound posts, dig trenches to build a new paddock, and paint the picket fence.   It was hot and dirty work but now we have a new place for our horses to live and a bright white fence.  THANK YOU CHEVRON!

This is the eleventh year that the Martinez Horsemen have held this fabulous event for Xenophon. Two of our students demonstrated their riding skills for all to see. It is always so much fun to show off our program and to be part of the “Battle.”

Thank you Martinez Horsemen!

Thank you to Eric and Julie Thomas for their fabulous evening. Sixty enthusiastic horse lovers came to Thomas Ranch to learn about reining and other horse-helping topics.
Eric demonstrated how to work in partnership with the horse focusing on the value of allowing the horse enough time to process our requests.
It was a wonderfully informative event.
