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.

Proudly serving Snohomish County, Washington!
These different programs offer participants, of all ages and abilities, a safe and unique opportunity to partner with horses while working from the ground. Check out each of our programs below!
What we hear from our volunteers:
'This is a life-changing experience'
We need your help!
In addition to arena help, we also need help with a variety of other activities such as Newsletters, Social Media, Marketing, Fundraising, and Event Planning. If you are a senior who is willing to share your time and experience, please contact us!
We couldn't exist without our Donors. Your donations provide scholarships to participants in need and help us care for our beautiful horses. Every dollar helps!
Thank you to our Community Donors!
Message From The Board
Summer is almost here, and we could not be more excited!
This will be our first summer enjoying the farm without construction underway, and we have planned a season full of fun family events designed to share our beautiful space with the community.
This year, we are hosting two Fun at the Farm events on June 27 and August 22. These free, family-friendly gatherings are intentionally limited to 50 tickets so we can continue creating an environment that feels welcoming and comfortable for our neurodivergent participants. For our June event, Yay Big Yay High Yay Ice Cream will be bringing their truck to the farm for anyone who would like to purchase a sweet treat!
We are also planning free outdoor Movie Nights on the lawn, along with an adults-only Line Dancing Fundraiser in July. Be sure to check our calendar for event dates and ticket links.
Hosting these events for our participants and community is truly the fulfillment of a dream. It takes many helping hands to bring each event to life, and we would love your support. Whether it’s baking for the bake sale, helping with setup or cleanup, serving popcorn, or assisting in other ways, every contribution makes a difference.
If you would like to volunteer, please email us at volunteer@courageous-connections.org or text 425-217-9301.
We look forward to seeing you at the farm this summer!
