HEAVEN SENT HORSES


Heaven-Sent Horses helps families and individuals heal and rebuild their lives after a major life crisis. Through our Horses Healing Grief Mini Day Camps, mental health professionals and trained volunteers provide a therapeutic setting in which grieving children can get the help they need without feeling like they have been in therapy. We bring the magic of horses into the untouched places in those in need of healing, support, change, or growth.

The Magic of Horses

There is just something bigger than life about horses, especially when they interact with humans.

  • They are creatures which live in the here and now, but somehow magically transport our emotions to worlds unknown. Their size, their power under restraint, their grace and beauty, all charm us into a state of awe.
  • They inspire our courage, and help us find a moment of peace when it has eluded us in our hectic lives.
  • They show affection, depend on us, and willingly partner with us for our pleasure, taking on tasks they could not have imagined in the wild. No wonder they can unlock our deepest fears and touch our deepest needs.

 



 

The magic of horses makes them uniquely suited to the sacred journey to the wilderness of the soul.

By nature, horses tend to keep a healthy distance in any relationship, offering a hurting child the space needed to work through their emotions with acceptance rather than expectations. Their silent companionship can be just what a child needs after a loss.



Help for Kids and Families

Heaven-Sent Horses serves families and children through its own programs, as well as through partnerships with area non-profits and community service agencies, meeting needs that none of us could meet alone.
