Healing Hooves

Our therapeutic connection program brings together rescued equines and people in need of emotional support. Through guided interactions with our gentle horses and ponies, participants experience the calming, healing power of the human-animal bond.

Whether you are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, or simply need a moment of peace, our Healing Hooves sessions offer a safe, nurturing environment where both humans and animals can find comfort.

Compassionate Support

Animal Surrender Program

We understand that sometimes circumstances change and caring for a farm animal is no longer possible. Our surrender program provides a compassionate, judgment-free option for owners who can no longer provide the care their animals need.

We work with you to ensure a smooth transition and will give your animal the love and care they deserve at our sanctuary.
