WOW!!!!
Baby Barn Swallows #51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, and counting the second go round!!!

So, as the baby barn swallows leave and come back. There are a few parent swallows that have remained behind.

The babies are learning how to navigate training so they can return to base in the years to come. Several of the 50 babies have returned and left learning the navigation skills passed on by the swallow community. Including the scout.

We are very honoured to be the maternity ward of choice for the barn swallows.

Fear of horses holding you back? If you have a fear of horses, let our herd help you work through this fear and who knows maybe other fears might go by the wayside as well!

Come and experience what being in the present moment feels like. The first gift of our herd.

If you have ever wondered what "horses helping humans" looks like. Rescued Hearts Film has created this incredible documentary and here is some insight.

We are watching Part 1...... soooo excited!

If your heart longs for freedom, presence, and connection…this Wild Hearts gathering is for you!

We are bringing together powerful voices for an evening of storytelling, healing, and love—for horses, and for ourselves.

Join us for a special Rescued Hearts Community Gathering this Friday, July 25 at 5 PM PT / 8 PM ET as we explore the powerful bond between humans and wild horses.

Aly Reiman shares her extraordinary journey with Willow, a once-wild mustang she taught to paint—not through force, but through trust, presence, and connection. Their story is featured in Rescued Hearts and is one of the most unforgettable parts of the film.

We’ll also be joined by Grace Kuhn, wild horse advocate and Communications Director at project, who will speak about the emotional and ecological importance of protecting wild horses—and how their freedom is deeply intertwined with our own.

As a special gift, we’ll close the evening with Wild and Free—the anthem from the film—set to stunning footage from sanctuary, our beloved sponsor for this community event.

💛 This is a free, heart-centered event open to all. Even if you can’t join live, register to receive the replay.

WOW, HEART Retreat is just one month away from our "Fun"draiser.
We are busy behind the scenes organizing, collecting silent auction items and getting the word out through advertising!

We have some amazing indoor and outdoor vendors and some awesome silent auction items.

Some of the items up for grabs are edible (yummy), some are for relaxation, some are going to challenge your skills, some will accent your decor and your outfits, some will help you in your travels or get to a destination, some will make someone happy if you give it to them as a gift for their birthday or dare we say "a festive time of year gift"

So mark your calendars (Sunday August 24 ODAS Park) and spread the word. Lets surpass our funds raised from last year!

And that is why they can do so much for us!

And that is why they can do so much for us!

Here are 15 interesting facts about horses' brain:

1. Horses' brain is relatively small compared to the size of their body and accounts for only about 0.1% of its total weight.
2. Despite their small size, horses have very complex brains, with a highly developed cerebral cortex, the part of the brain responsible for conscious thought, decision-making and memory.
3. Horses can learn and remember complex tasks, such as navigating a jump course or performing a dressage routine, through a process called associate learning.
4. Like humans, horses have a left hemisphere and a right hemisphere in the brain, each with specialized functions.
The left hemisphere is responsible for the processing of logical and analytical information, while the right hemisphere is more involved in emotional processing and creative thinking.
5. Horses have a great memory and can remember specific people, places and experiences for many years.
6. Horses can learn by observation and often they can acquire new behaviors and skills simply by observing other horses or humans.
7. Horses have a very sensitive sense of touch and can detect even the slightest pressure or movement on their skin. This helps them responding to subtle cues from your rider or guide.
8. Horses can process visual information very quickly and accurately, allowing them to avoid potential hazards and navigate their environment with ease.
9. Horses are social animals and rely on nonverbal communication to interact with other horses in their herd.
This communication is facilitated by the horse’s brain, which can interpret subtle changes in body language, facial expressions and vocalizations.
10. Ultimately, like all animals, horses have a unique personality and individual traits that are shaped by their experiences, genetics and environment—all of which is reflected in their brain function and behavior.
11. Horses have a very strong sense of smell and their odor bulb, which processes smells, is relatively large compared to other parts of their brain.
12. The brain, which is responsible for coordinating movement and balance, is also relatively large in horses. This is because horses must be able to move quickly and efficiently to escape predators or navigate through difficult terrain.
13. Horses have a very high pain threshold, which is believed to be related to how their brains process pain signals.
While this can be beneficial in some situations, it can also mean that horses may not show obvious signs of pain, making it harder for their caregivers to detect and treat underlying health issues.
14. The hippocampus, a part of the brain involved in learning and memory, is particularly well developed in horses.
This allows them to remember not only specific experiences, but also general concepts and patterns that they can apply to new situations.
15. Finally, studies have shown that horses, like other animals, are capable of experiencing emotions such as fear, happiness, and anger. These emotions are believed to be mediated by the limbic system, a group of interconnected brain structures that play a key role in regulating mood and behavior.
