Marie Ridgeway & Associates Trauma therapy and mental health training, specializing in Law Enforcement and Public Safety

As a first responder therapist here in Minnesota, I am reaching out to share a special mission close to my heart. I am raising funds for Art Heart and Hoofbeats-Equine Rescue and Sanctuary, an amazing organization dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating horses in need, giving them a safe place to heal and thrive.

Together, we have launched Blue HeARTs & Hoofbeats, a unique program that offers Equine Assisted Therapy and Support specifically for public safety personnel in Minnesota. We believe every horse deserves a second chance, and every first responder needs a supportive outlet for their own health and healing. Through this partnership, the rescued equines become partners in recovery for those who serve our communities.

Your support goes directly toward the operating costs of Art Heart and Hoofbeats—helping provide essential care, veterinary services, feed, medications, and all that it takes to maintain the farm and care for the horses. Every donation, no matter the size, makes it possible for these beautiful animals to continue helping first responders on their path to healing.

If you can, please consider contributing or sharing our mission. Together, we can make a meaningful difference for the horses and the heroes who need us most. Thank you for your kindness and support!
