The Heart Herd
Horses Healing and Being Healed
The Heart Herd is designed to support the care, feeding, and development of rescued horses who may go on to become therapy horses.
Heart Herd horses are part of our funded programs, helping both horses and humans gain the patience, attunement, and communication skills necessary for healthy, connected relationships.
Through recurring monthly donations (or a one-time gift), you can:
Sponsor a Heart Herd horse for a week, a month or a year (click here)
Honor a friend or loved one with a recurring gift in their name (click here)
Remember/memorialize a lost 2-legged or 4-legged companion (click here)
Pumpkin and Spice are two recent examples of the more than 50 horses who have been through the ranch, to be healed of trauma and then to help humans heal from trauma as well. Pumpkin and Spice are also part of the Heart Herd, horses available to be sponsored, along with Change (pictured below)!
SUPPORT THE HEART HERD!
Your monthly contribution makes the healing happen, for horses and humans!
What Does Your Contribution Mean to a Sponsored Horse?
$10/month or $120/year pays for grain
$25/month or $300/year pays for hay
$75/month $900/year pays for physical needs: veterinarian, farrier, chiropractor, and more
$165/month or $1980/year pays for boarding, daily care and horse rehab/development
$300/month or $3600/year pays for a horse’s needs for the whole month!
Your sponsorship also means more funding goes directly into therapy services, as programs won’t have to pay for care, upkeep and all that goes with having horses as partners to do this work!
Pumpkin - is a draft pony, a Hafflinger who came to the farm several years ago. She showed up “just a bit thin” but quickly settled in and started gaining weight. She and her “sister” Spice are an excellent team and good member of the working herd.
Spice - is also a draft pony, a Hafflinger who came to the farm with her “sister” Pumpkin from a bad situation and a little thin. In fact, she gained weight so fast we did a pregnancy test on her! Now a happy member of the working herd.
Donate ‘In Memory of’ or ‘In Honor of’
Honor those you love and wish to remember through your monthly Heart Herd support. Nicole Kelley has been honored by her family in this way after her untimely death. She was an avid horse lover and just beginning to get into the field of Equine Assisted Psychotherapy when she passed.
To similarly honor or remember someone special (2-legged or 4-legged), choose your monthly giving level and then contact Shannon@HeartofHorseSense.org.
