As we continue to grow, our needs continue to increase! If you have room in your life to give back we would love to chat. Please see all of our current volunteering opportunities below. Some with horses, and some outside of that. Please help us continue supporting our community’s youth. Thank you!

Be with the horse, partner with them, love them, and allow them to help you feel safe. The rest will come.

It was quite a night! I’m beyond grateful to the incredible partners who helped make it happen. Karen and Alysa—you are amazing! And a huge thank you to Brad, Josh, Dave, and Brynley for all the hard work that made the evening such a success.

Thank you as well to the talented artists who donated truly stunning pieces for our silent auction, the filmmakers of Rescued Hearts, Matt for handling the sound system, and everyone who came out to support our very first HeART of a Horse event. We couldn’t have done it without you!

This. This is why we do this.

We say we want capable adults. We have employers saying they want young people who:
• Can think critically
• Do not need constant direction
• Have work ethic
• Take initiative
• Go beyond the bare minimum

But those traits do not magically appear at 22. They are built at 7.

You do not raise a self-starter by solving every problem for them.
You do not build work ethic by removing discomfort.
You do not create critical thinkers by giving constant instructions.

You build those skills when they are small.

When they have to figure out the halter clasp.
When they are expected to clean the stall completely, not halfway.
When they notice the water bucket is low and fill it without being told.
When they try again instead of handing you the lead rope.

Capable adults are not created by accident. They are raised.

If we want confident, marketable, driven young adults one day, we have to start now. In small moments. In ordinary tasks. In places like a barn.

We are not just teaching riding. We are teaching initiative. We are teaching problem solving. We are teaching pride in doing something well.

That is not harsh. That is empowering.

And we are proud to be a part of it. Cause I'm not sure there's an easier place to learn these skills than the barn.
