Our mission is to provide a safe, nurturing rescue/sanctuary for horses and other farm animals in which they can heal and thrive, and in which they in turn help us to heal and thrive. To this end we host classes in animal centered healing arts and wellness; humane and kind horse and dog training methods; advanced certification in equine assisted psycho therapies; and a safe and friendly environment for children and adults with autism, alzheimers, cancer, and mental/emotional challenges to learn, grow and enrich their lives. The animals help to teach us about connection, relationships and family, lessons we can carry into our daily lives to be happier, healthier and more responsible members of our local community and even internationally.

Our programs are run by staff and volunteers who are trained to supervise and guide participants in activities that challenge, support, and grow their physical, mental, emotional, and social health.

Ayden’s Army of Angels provides resources financial and nutritional, to any families effected by Pediatric Cancer.We also know the importance of creating memories, so we host a variety of events throughout the year, not only to bring awareness, but to provide families the opportunity to create lasting memories. Our primary funding has come from Ayden himself. Prior to Ayden’s passing we raised 265k to seek him alternative treatment. Before we could get to those options, Ayden passed. I have taken the remainder of Aydens GoFundMe and opened the Foundation. Since September of 2017, I have issued over $30k in grants to Cancer Families. We have also hosted several parties and events for the families all at no cost to them.
