Our Mission is to promote and enhance the physical and emotional growth of people of all ages and unique abilities through the use of therapeutic, outdoor experiences including interactions with horses and other domesticated animals.

​

The essential joy of being with horses is that it brings us in contact with the rare elements of grace, beauty, spirit, and freedom.

A Season of Challenges and Community Strength

BBB Auction Image .jpg

By now you have heard that we had some zoning challenges that prevented us from hosting our annual Boogie, Boots, and Barbecue at the farm. As you can imagine, canceling our only in-person fundraiser was a shock. For a few days, it felt like our hair was on fire! When our team heard the news, after working so hard to organize this big event for 150 people, they stepped up immediately and began working on a new plan. Thanks to our incredible volunteers, we quickly pivoted and moved the auction online—where it will run from September 13-September 30th. If you haven’t yet, we invite you to join the fun and bid on some amazing items. New auction items are being added regularly, so even if you’ve already signed up, check back often!
