Our Mission: To make a measurable difference by bringing the worlds of at risk equines and at risk individuals together through equine facilitated learning and coaching. We are a rescue in the sense that we fundraise to rescue horses in at risk situations. Where we are different is we partner with approved partner rescues. These partner rescues take in, rehab, train, and place majority of these deserving horses into forever homes. We do not adopt horses out at this time.The wonderful horses that make up our herd make up a slightly different demographic. Some have physical limitations and are not available for adoption and will live out a safe, loving life with us. Some have been so severely abused by humans that it would not be safe to put them up for adoption, they too will spend their lives with us, safe and being loved. Then the remainder of the sweet souls that make up our herd are under evaluation to become equine coaching partners and help transform lives. We are passionate about raising awareness and shedding light on the gifts that the horses have to give, beyond just being ridden.Our vision is to continue to build our coaching platform, in partnership with other non profits that represent at risk demographics such that we can create specific programs for their needs - from at risk youth, addiction, abuse, sex trafficking survivors, divorce and the list goes on. We also have a for profit division which continues to benefit the horses which focuses on Equine Partnered Trans-formative Coaching, and helping people get on their path to their purpose.
