Lives in the North Woods Forests of Maine with 8 dogs, 3 horses, and a herd of sheep and goats. She’s a cheesemaker at Fuzzy Udder Creamery but her real passion is animal communication and horsemanship. Would rather be deep in the wilderness on horseback than anywhere else.
BraveHearts
BraveHearts is a therapeutic horseback riding center in Illinois that offers equine-assisted services and therapies for both children and adults, in both recreational and medical services. What really caught my attention about BraveHearts, is their Veterans Program, which is the largest veteran equine-assisted services program in the nation. BraveHearts runs a program called Trail to Zero, in which they ride through cities, including New York City, bringing awareness to the staggering suicide rate amongst veterans. The programs available at BraveHearts show how the healing power of the horse can be a factor in aiding mental health issues and that is why I have chosen this organization to fundraise for.
