Be the Hope They Deserve—Support Healing for Horses and Humans Today.
Who We Are
At Art, Heart, and Hoofbeats, we are more than an equine rescue and sanctuary—we are a place where healing begins. Through the gentle guidance of rescued horses, the transformative power of therapeutic art, and the restorative embrace of nature, we help horses and humans reconnect with their truest selves. Our trauma-informed, inclusive programs are designed to meet diverse needs, nurturing mindfulness, self-expression, and personal growth. By nurturing both species, we cultivate a compassionate space for transformation and empowerment. At the heart of it all, we recognize that healing the heart is a journey back to freedom—both for the horse and the human.
Our Programming
Our programs create meaningful connections between horses, humans, nature, and art. Each initiative begins with the horses—rescuing and rehabilitating them while unlocking their unique ability to foster trust and healing. We never ride our horses; they offer wisdom and guidance through gentle, non-invasive interactions. Through therapeutic immersion, creative expression, and artistic exploration, horses and humans discover new ways to process emotions and build resilience. In the Fields of Freedom, nature, creativity, horses, and humans unite to find the space to grow, connect, and thrive.
Our Building Trust with Horses (BTH) program invites you to slow down, breathe, and build meaningful connections with our rescue herd in a serene, nature-filled setting. Through mindfulness, shared play, and weekly lessons inspired by the wisdom of horses, you’ll discover a deeper understanding of these remarkable animals—and yourself.
Experience the healing power of art in The Art of Horses (AOH) classes, guided by internationally acclaimed artist Anne Krocak. Begin your journey in our peaceful, nature-filled setting with a grounding connection to our rescue herd, followed by an enriching, mindful art-making session in the AHH Studio. These customized classes offer a supportive space to explore your creativity, develop new skills, and foster personal growth—all while building meaningful connections.
Breathe in the wellness created in our Mindful Connections Classes. MCC classes will be guided by skilled facilitators and supported by sensitive horses, learning tools to manage stress better, enhance mental and emotional well-being, and nurture inner peace. More than just an event, it’s an opportunity to step away from life’s chaos, immerse yourself in the present moment, and reconnect with what truly matters.
Unlock your team’s potential with our personalized, hands-on leadership program. Focused on trust, effective communication, and empathy, our sessions combine mindfulness, team-building activities, and interactive exercises to enhance emotional intelligence, foster resilience, and create a culture of connection and shared purpose.
