An enormous thanks to everyone who came out to our first-ever Poetry in the Pasture event on September 13th! The day was a rousing success, and we relished the opportunity to connect with so many folks, both new and familiar.

Special thanks to our poets Alida Woods and Nickole Brown for sharing their incredible work. And a HUGE thank you to all of our Heart of Horse Sense volunteers who came out to make the day a success! We couldn't have done it without you!

Photo credit and special shoutout to our volunteer Kelly W. for these amazing photos!

Today, we remember the devastation that hit Western North Carolina last year, as our community faced the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. We honor those we lost, celebrate our shared resilience, and continue to celebrate our incredible community.

As we continue on our path to recovery and rebuilding, we are dedicated to offering support for those affected by the hurricane. Our Stable and Safe monthly group provides support to all community members at no cost. This two-hour session is designed to foster connections among participants and with our horses, and to leave feeling centered and grounded.

At Heart of Horse Sense, the word grant means more than funding—it means belief, trust, and heart. We’re incredibly grateful for our grant writer Cara Hachten, owner of Noteworthy Grants, whose passion and dedication go far beyond paperwork.

Cara brings unmatched skill, heart, and curiosity to her work. She’s not only a talented grant writer—she’s immersed herself in our mission, spent time at the farm, and made it a point to understand the deep connection between humans and horses.

From researching PTSD to building meaningful relationships, Cara exemplifies what it means to truly put your heart into something. We're honored to have her on our team.

Cara is also a gifted musician! Learn more about her musical side at www.carakinney.com

Thank you, Cara, for believing in us and walking this path with such compassion and excellence. 💜
