Healing Horses One child at a time Inc.

I have been a part of this non-profit from almost the very beginning. Ms Levitt does great work in getting the horse back to being healthy and happy. Some of the horses have been abused, negleted and just not treated like they should have been. My son Nathan has learned how to care for an animal and to love them and to show them kindness. My son has had a lot of traumatic experiences in his life. Healing Horses has been a great place to learn that he is not alone and he can come through this and move on with his life. I have seen Ms. Levitt work
with many children through the years she truely Loves what she does and the children and horses love her. I am so thankful I have known her for 30 or so years.

The blessings bestowed upon me on a daily basis, in seeing abused horses heal both physically and mentally, as well as seeing special needs children victorious in finding self esteem, confidence, speech, motor skill improvement and laughter, has been the a reward that no words can ever describe. The volunteers here are remarkable individuals. All show devotion, love, kindness and understanding of the challenges these horses have on arrival and in their healing process. I have never in my life seen such devotion from a group of youth, as is demonstrated here by our youth volunteers. A group of youth with ambition, goals, morals and values that send your heart soaring. Our adult volunteers give freely of their hearts, time, labor and "can't be done", is never in their vocabulary. We are so blessed to have the ability to give these intelligent, noble animals a second chance and teach them that all humans aren't bad after all. The miracles these horses bring to the special needs children are at times so intense, I am sent soaring with exhilaration. To see a child become confident, to watch their self esteem rise, to see them accomplish verbal and motor skills that they couldn't obtain before, because of the magic of the horse, is a journey I am so blessed and honored to be on. I am honored to stand with each of you, as we save as many horses as we can from the brutalities of mankind and help children become instilled with the knowledge that there is no challenge they can not over come! Alone, we are but the whisper of a mouse, together we are the roar of a lion! Beverly Levitt- President/Founder

I have known Bev Levitt for over 6 years, long before healing horses was even a thought. However, this amazing, loving, generous grandmother devoted her life in that time to taking care of her developmentally disabled grand daughter and always told me that one of these days she would get a pony for her. Well, fast forward and Bev ended up with her own personal herd of horses! I am a horse person and have never in my life seen someone as able to heal broken hearts, legs and random wounds, build bonds of broken trust, and feed starved horses to where they are now healthy and as dappled as any pampered horse I've ever seen. And then there are the children and families who Bev has touched through her warmth, open arms, wonderful hugs and willingness to share her farm and her home. Her experiences from doing so much speed and occupational therapy with her granddaughter taught her well. She is a natural therapist for horses, special needs children and all of the kids and family volunteers. It is an honor to be on the board of Healing Horses One child at a Time. May your efforts continue to rescue horses in need, find them their furever homes and continue to reach and teach special needs children. I will continue to work toward finding funding sources to support this life saving venture.

I could not think of a better place to volunteer my time. Everyone that goes there is all like a close knit family. We are all like brothers and sisters. We do nothing but, laugh all day long. I have so much fun with everyone. Beverly, the owner and founder is the salt of the earth. I wish everyone could be like her. She is always greeting you with a hug and she is the type of person you call when your not feeling well. We will quickly put a smile on your face. All of the horses of healthy beyond expectations. I believe to have a barn that everyone feels welcome at and able to express themselves is exactly what this place is. The specil needs therapeutic riding lessons given here are the best of them all. Bev, has experience as her grand daughter has disabilities. She will spend all day out in the pasture with any child just to put a smile on your face. That's just the kind of person she is. She is amazing and couldn't think of anyone better than her to own a horse rescue. This is truly her love and passion. She would never give it up for the world!
