HEALING, GROWTH, AND CONNECTIONS
WE BRING PEOPLE AND HORSES TOGETHER
From the owner...
Horses provided a place of healing and community when my life appeared to be in pieces. As I began to pick up these pieces and put them back together I realized I wasn't alone. I believe healing cannot occur in a silo and that everyone is on their own healing and self discovery journey. We were not meant to go through the joys and pains of this world alone. As horses began to gather here I didn't always know what their purpose was or why they were brought to me, but I was committed that just like the people the horses came into my life to show me more.
The vision for this ranch is that everyone is welcome, everyone is healing, everyone is growing. However everyone can also be hurting, grieving and lost. We want to love, support and nurture every horse and human that comes to our facility even if only for a little while.
Communities are formed by the people in them and this community, my community, is a safe place no matter where life has brought you, what you've been through or where you are going. Whether you are here for years or just stopping by. No matter what you believe in or who you love. There is a place for you even if only for a little while.
We are a community of commitment, respect, boundaries, growth and forgiveness.
The horses brought to this ranch I believe come for a reason. Whether they be a horse owned by one of our boarders or a program horse. Just like the humans we all belong and we can all learn from one another.
So at the heart of it all is connection. We are all connected and we all live healthier when we have strong connections.
