Working with the horses brought me so much joy and confidence. It is so special to develop that connection and trust. The horses are so beautiful and the farm is so peaceful.

Thank you for giving me hope again. I am encouraged to live my best life moving forward. I can't change the past, but I can choose to make the best of my future.

The best health centered place I know. I am a volunteer here and a retired military veteran with service connected disabilities including PTSD. For me, being in the natural world, the forest, farm land, animals, domestic and wildlife, the wind and sunshine...all of it is a therapy opening the sense of thankfulness and connection to things good and profitable in the earth.
