Studies show friendships are good for physical health, encourage healthy behaviors, provide emotional support, build confidence, help you beat stress, and push you to be your best which coincidentally reflect what a horse does for us. 🩷

Our mission is a culmination of many special individuals who deeply care and spread kindness. When these individuals go to their heavenly home, it is felt by each of us, but their legacy is also woven into all that we do. Today we remember two individuals who continue to bless BraveHearts with their lasting legacy. First, our co-founder, Dr. Rolf Gunnar, who was at the forefront of starting BraveHearts, established our Veterans program that has given so much to our service members, and is the reason behind the chapel at our Harvard farm. Second, Francie Hill was the reason for our Francie Hill Angel Horse Fund which is restricted funding for BraveHearts to utilize when expanding our therapy horse herd. There is not enough words to express how great the impact is through all their love and hearts of service. It just so happens that these two incredible people both share today as their birthday. We honor Dr Gunnar and Francie, today & every day. 🩷

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. Isaiah 43:2 🩵

Today we celebrated the upcoming 101st Birthday of WWII U.S Navy Veteran, Al ❤️ When asked how he’d like to celebrate his special day, he responded that he’d like to spend it with horses. We were honored to fulfill his wish, get him horseback and enjoy cake with other fellow Vets & members of our team. Happy Birthday Al! 🥳
