Mission: Children are matched with horses for the purpose of teaching life lessons, such as responsibility, work ethics, commitment, goal setting, and unconditional love, to name a few. The horses come to us in ways of donations, rescues and purchases. We are able to give unproductive horses a home with meaning and purpose. We take an active part in the community, teaching youth community service. We participate in the presentation of the colors at different events throughout the community. Our children volunteer at community functions and are represented in local parades.
Programs: Children are matched with horses for the purpose of teaching life lessons, such as responsibility, work ethics, commitment, goal setting, and unconditional love to name a few. The horses come to us in ways of donations, rescues and purchases. We are able to give unproductive horses a home with meaning and purpose. During the year 2016 over 25 individuals, mostly children took part in the horse to heart program. Our site is frequented by a group of about 20-30 special needs individuals on fridays. The group enjoys being outdoors and around animals. We were instrumental in helping victims of cancer realize life time dreams, through activities and gifts. We have also opened up the experience with the horses to children with problematic home lives due to illnesses in the families.
