Art, Heart & Hoofbeats
SANCTUARY
Providing at-risk horses a lifetime home while supporting our community through high-quality art, nature, and equine-assisted classes and experiences.
HeArtful Adventures at AHHS
We’re flipping the script on equine rescues by putting horses first and using equine communication to educate, support, and inspire our community.
Here, peacocks drift past, silkies cuddle close, and greeter goats bring the giggles… while artistic adventures deepen connection to self and to our equine partners.
At AHHS, these experiences blossom into authentic self-connection and true joy.
Experience horses and nature
through your heart.
Join heart-centered, high-quality
art programming.
We are fully run by volunteers.
Every dollar goes to our rescued animals and community programming.
