We are super excited to keep the healing going through the winter months, at our seasonal home in Ocala, FL. Donna Blem has joined us and is sharing her beautiful facility for us to continue our work, serving Marion County Florida

ACTT Naturally and Evolution Horsemanship are joining together in Ocala, Florida to provide life changing programs to our veterans, first responders and their families, Victims of domestic and other types of abuse, helping to reduce the effects of PTSD and the repercussions it can cause.

Programs will be provided at Evolution Horsemanship, a natural private setting on a 55-acre ranch that is nestled among large majestic oak trees and wide-open fields. The serenity of the property sets the tone of our program giving each participant the Open Space needed for changes to happen.

Our “Hearts in Harmony” equine assisted programs are custom designed to help with things such as; self development, leadership, self esteem, confidence, compassion, empathy, trust, mutual respect, healthy boundaries, coping skills, and more.

We had a late night visit from the veterinarian last night to sedate Journey and extract some porcupine quills. Luckily not too many and they were small.

Open Mic Night has settled in so well at the farm. He’s a super cool 😎 laid back boy but also super curious and he’s been checking my pockets 😆

Today he spent the day out in a paddock enjoying the warm fall sunshine.

Then he walked back to the barn in a rope halter, like a gentleman. Mic you will never have a chain across your nose again.

Happy Horse Happy Life!

Our friend Shannon has been out to the farm since July. Helping us work with our OTTB’s. Getting them ready for adoption and a new future.
We put a lot of ground work into our horses before we get back in the saddle. Shannon had her first ride today on Insurance Policy (Vino Rosso) aka Beau. So proud of both of them. Well done team!
Thanks to Linda Parelli and the Happy Horse Happy Life curriculum for helping to make the magic happen.

Fall is definitely in the air here. 🍁
As the Oklahoma Track in Saratoga is winding down the fall training, there’s a list of horses retiring and in need of us to step up.
We were lucky enough to get this handsome guy, Open Mic Night from the Danny Gargan Stable.
Many thanks to Richard Schosberg and Andy Belfiore for their tireless work on behalf of these horses, ensuring their safety as they leave their racing careers behind.
On to a bright new future!

After a couple of months of R&R we hauled Beau (Insurance Policy) and Jessie (Gaining Acceptance) over to Long Shadows yesterday and today they started their first day of training. Both of them were super sweet, curious and super learners! So excited to get started with the next round of OTTB’s and looking forward to getting them trained and on to new homes!

We had a great day today at the Glens Falls Elks Lodge #81
Many thanks to Danele DelSignore and Catherine O’Hara for the work they put into our event today. We made a lot of great contacts in hopes of helping more people through our Hearts in Harmony programs at Long Shadows Charitable Foundation.
