At Barnabas Horse Foundation, every horse has a purpose, a story, and a place to call home. I am so deeply grateful for the opportunity to provide love, peace, and safety for so many incredible horses—especially the older ones who often come to us needing a second chance.

These horses are not just survivors—they are healers. They give back in ways that words can’t fully capture, helping victims of crime, veterans, and first responders find hope and healing after enduring unimaginable pain. They touch the lives of our staff and volunteers, teaching us resilience, grace, and the power of connection.

At Barnabas, there are no “throwaway” horses. Every horse matters, every life matters, and together, we are creating a sanctuary where healing flows both ways.

Thank you to everyone who supports our mission. You are helping us transform lives—both human and equine—one heart at a time. ❤️

🌟 Honoring Law Enforcement on National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day 🌟

Today, we express our heartfelt gratitude to the brave men and women in law enforcement who protect and serve our communities. Your dedication, courage, and resilience inspire us every day. 💙

At Barnabas Horse Foundation, we are proud to support First Responders, including law enforcement officers, through our free Equine-Assisted Learning program. This program is designed to help you decompress, build resilience, and find healing in the presence of our incredible therapy horses. These sessions provide a safe space to reconnect with yourself, process stress, and experience the powerful bond between humans and horses.

If you or a fellow officer could benefit from this program, reach out to us today. It’s our way of giving back to those who give so much.

Thank you for your service and sacrifice. We stand with you! 🐴💙
