  • Description

    Description

    We are a Registered Charity in Alberta, Canada that focuses on animal welfare, mainly equine care and rehabilitation. We operate on a smaller scale so that our animals can get the individual care, attention and support they deserve and will often use some of our cases for educational and training purposes via social media posting and youtube videos. As our work has evolved, so has our understanding of what healing truly means. Alongside rehabilitation, we now offer equine-assisted therapeutic support, creating intentional spaces where humans and horses can meet in stillness, connection, and mutual restoration
