Description

We want to share the unconditional love of all our 4-legged friends! They provide us with so much happiness and joy and we love to share the love! The experience and activities with Happy Hooves on the farm will vary depending on the time of day. The mission statement of HAPPY HOOVES is to provide animal assisted therapy and activities to those in need. We have provided therapy and activities for elderly at memory care centers (Alzheimer's and dementia), stroke patients, children with autism, and individuals suffering from depression. VERY IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ. If there are any special accommodations that are needed, please reach out to the host privately to 1) make sure we can accomodate and 2)plan in advance to provide the best environment possible! Note: If the times offered for the experience do not work for your schedule, please send the host a private message as to what day and time you are requesting. We will do our best to accomodate.! Guests can be a part of brushing, grooming, braiding (if you wish!), and some relaxation with the herd! If you wish, you will also be able to walk some of the furry friends here at the farm! Each guest MUST wear close toed shoes (tennis shoes or boots would work just fine)! For safety reasons, it is not recommended for any outside animals to attend this experience. We also have a guest house on site available to rent out short term. Please contact the host for more details, or you can review photos and reviews on our website here! GUEST HOUSE INFO ABOUT THE FOUNDER, JESSE: I am the founder and chair of the non-profit "Happy Hooves". We are an organization that provides horse and donkey therapy to those in need. From Alzheimer's and dementia, to stroke patients, to children with autism and special needs, as well as those suffering from depression and PTSD. Having grown up on a dairy farm in Minnesota, (relocating to Arizona in 1999)I have always had a passion for animals. I have shown many cattle throughout my young life and have a passion to give back to the community. This organization allows me to do just that. Most all of our animals are rescued, and the most recent two have come from a kill pen from Texas. Sharing this experience with others, teaching them the gift of healing from horses and donkeys, is truly something I love!
