The Hoofbeat: August 2020
Introducing....OUR HEARTS HERD!
We are currently on a break from program (August 24 - September 7). Our program breaks are when we give our horses some much need R & R. Our incredible equine partners were ready for some fun in the sun in turnout!

Since our horses are taking a well-deserved break, we thought this was also a great time to celebrate each of them! We couldn't do our work without them, so here's a shoutout to the individual equines that make Hearts what it is today - and to the fantastic folks who sponsor them.

Hearts' 16 equine partners (listed below) have the extraordinary responsibility of providing a safe and stable therapeutic experience for participants who may have multiple disabilities, challenges with balance or communication, developmental delays, or vision impairment. 

We could not provide this life-changing work to the Santa Barbara community without happy and healthy horses. Thank you to our sponsors for recognizing their importance and profound impact!
