Ruby

“Hi, I’m Ruby… yes, I’m the adorable one. I was born on June 28, 2021, and I’m the proud daughter of Roxy (you know… the one with the very large ears ). I may look a little more “mini,” but don’t let my size fool you—I have a BIG personality! Unlike my mom, I came into this world with zero fear. New people? Love them. New experiences? Let’s go! I’m naturally social, curious, and always ready to interact—which makes me a favorite with our patients at Nature’s Edge Therapy Center. But… I do have one small thing… I’m a little stubborn.

Especially when it comes to going for walks. Sometimes I decide, “Nope, not today,” and plant my feet like it’s my full-time job. But here’s the secret… that’s actually part of my therapy magic. Because when I pause, our patients learn something really important:

• patience
• problem-solving
• communication
• how to stay calm and keep trying

I help teach that not everything goes as planned—and that’s okay. Sometimes growth happens in the pause. Every day, I help patients build confidence, connection, and real-life skills… all while being my playful, curious self. When you support the Horses for Mental Health Campaign, you’re helping care for animals like me—providing feed, veterinary care, and training so we can continue doing what we do best.”
