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 and in my years growing up on the farm, I had the joy of showing many cattle throughout my young life. My other passion is to give back to the community. This organization, Happy Hooves, allows me to do just that. Most all of our animals are rescued, & 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 to share!
