Therapeutic Horses of Saratoga Celebrates Brush Box Project Ribbon Cutting

SARATOGA SPRINGS — On Oct. 16, community members gathered at the Therapeutic Horses of Saratoga (THS) farm to celebrate the completion of new, custom-built brush boxes.

The idea first took root in April 2024, when THS Board Member Sharon Dominguez sent an email about building brush boxes to help organize grooming supplies used in equine-assisted psychotherapy sessions. In response, Equine Care Manager Rachel Hodgson shared design concepts and ideas. From there, the project grew into a collaboration that included both Curtis Lumber and students from The Charlton School.

“This started with a spark of connection that grew into something so much bigger than we could have imagined,” said Kim Weir, director of strategic growth at THS. “These brush boxes are more than just a place to hold brushes. They represent care, creativity, and community coming together for a shared purpose. Projects like this remind us that we are all in this together, and when we collaborate, we create something truly beautiful.”
