Giving youth and adults the opportunity to discover new experiences, challenge themselves, and grow through the healing power of horses in a therapeutic setting.
Barn Update:
July 8th 2017 It has been exactly 3 months since a fire destroyed our Barn and took 13 horses away from us. These past few months have been the toughest I have ever experienced with paralyzing grief and sadness. The Barn area has not been cleared, but Monday we begin. The horses have been laid to rest and now we have the go ahead to clean up The Barn area.
The loss of the horses is crippling, but when people like Standard Lumber call and say they will help you rebuild, or when the community organizes groups to help clean up, and when the donations come in to help make this possible, this gives us the strength to move forward and now it is time.
To Simon, you were a part of my soul and I was so lucky to have you in my life.

Dear friends and family,
We would like to thank you all for your support and gracious contributions to The Barn for Equine Learning and all that we believe in. We cannot thank you enough for your continuous support and generosity for us and our four legged friends. The deep and profound grief that we have experienced over the loss of our horses and barn is heart wrenching, but with all of the love and graciousness that we have received over the past week, we know we must keep looking forward to new beginnings. Any doubt of rebuilding in those initial hours after the fire were quickly set aside as the outpouring of support and generosity from the community completely surrounded us. The Barn family could not thank each and every one of you enough for your charitable donations. All of us at The Barn for Equine Learning will grieve and mourn over our loss, but with a given amount of time, we will heal and move on to new beginnings by rebuilding, overcoming, and cherishing the gifts that these horses gave us. After all, love and passion for each and every one of you is what motivated us to develop into who we are today.
At 11 am this upcoming Saturday, April 15th, we will be having a memorial to commemorate and remember the lives of these thirteen hearts of gold. This service is open to the community and everyone is welcome.
The memorial will be held at:
The Barn for Equine Learning
3203 Timpson Ave SE
Lowell, MI 49331.
If you would like to be involved in any way, we would greatly appreciate your help and support. Please stay tuned for updates on work days and specific needs we may have. If you would like to support us financially, you can do so through our donate page on this website, or through our GoFundMe page which was generously set up through the community
