We are incredibly honored and humbled to be mentioned in Tideland Magazine's recent article, "Horsing Around", alongside other inspiring organizations doing meaningful work in our community. 🌿🐴

At Happy Hooves Sanctuary, our mission is made possible by the unwavering support of this amazing community — your encouragement, kindness, and belief in what we do fuels us every single day.

Thank you for helping us continue to create a safe, empowering space where children can learn, grow, and build lasting connections with these incredible animals. 💛

We help animals that have been starved, mistreated, or owner-surrendered. We rehabilitate them, help them to regain trust, adopt out and allow them to live a happy safe life. We want to create a special place where people can connect with the animals.

Thank you so much to all who supported Happy Hooves at our Trick-or-Treating event last night! We had so much fun going on cart rides, learning horsemanship, eating a yummy dinner and trick-or-treating between horse stalls! Thanks to your support, we now have another vet billed covered!

A special thank you to all our volunteers who helped make this night happen!

We're so touched by Messi's love for Michael and the progress, and joy Michael is experiencing when he rides his favorite horse. Thank you for sharing the experience with us at Happy Hooves.
