[Haven Acres has benefited] all of us. My two year old loved the animals, we all became more patient with [my son with autism], learned about horses and gained spiritual growth from weekly visits. These are wonderful people who put everything they have into taking care of the horses an helping a lot of kids in a unique way that builds confidence, trust and work ethic.

“I just got home from mentoring tonight and realized that the old saying ‘You only get out of it what you put into it’ just doesn’t apply. It doesn’t feel like I’ve ‘given up’ anything, but my heart is full to overflowing. What an amazing experience with amazing people!! Every time I think I can’t, they prove I can. God is truly at work here!”

“I believe there is some kind of therapeutic connection between the child, horse, and mentor – God’s hand overseeing it all, providing a refuge for the kids and the horses. It’s a beautiful thing and a blessing.”

“[Our son’s] emotions go high and low very quickly. Last year was the first time I saw him fall in love with something at Haven Acres and [he] didn’t care if it was 100 degrees or pouring rain, he wanted to be there… To finally see such joy in your son, you don’t want it to end.”
TiffanyParent
“It gives [my daughter] an outlet for her love of horses and ministers to her in a deep and impactful way that regular therapy doesn’t.”

“You’ve probably all heard the saying ‘if you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life.’ Even though coming out to Haven Acres is not my ‘work’, I feel it applies in the same way for me. When I come out to volunteer, I feel joy, peace and the Holy Spirit rains down here.”
