Horses + Art: A Formula for Community Wellness
AHHS Provids at-risk horses a lifetime home while supporting our community through high-quality art, nature, and equine-assisted classes and experiences.

Our Difference
We’re flipping the script on equine therapy by teaching people to use trauma-informed care for our horses first, and by introducing the basics of equine communication to strengthen connection—to ourselves and to our community.
Art is an essential part of wellness at AHHS. Creative expression calms the nervous system, supports emotional release, and offers a meaningful way to explore and translate inner experiences. Art becomes a bridge—linking mind, body, spirit, and the quiet wisdom of our herd.
Here, peacocks drift past, silkies cuddle close, and greeter goats bring the giggles… while artistic adventures deepen connection to yourself and to our equine partners.
At AHHS, these experiences grow into authentic self-connection, confidence, and true joy.
We are 100% run by volunteers.
Every dollar goes to our rescued animals and community programming.
