There is something truly special about a child behind the reins of a pony cart. As they learn to guide their pony with patience, focus, and trust, they discover confidence they didn't know they had. Every ride builds independence, responsibility, and a sense of accomplishment that extends far beyond the arena. The quiet partnership between child and pony creates lasting memories, reminding us that some of life's greatest lessons are learned one gentle step at a time.

In the quiet company of a gentle pony, a child learns lessons no classroom can teach, that strength can be gentle, trust is earned one step at a time, and the most beautiful journeys are shared with a kind heart..... (always grateful for your continued support)

Our first week of summer camp went amazingly well! We couldn’t have done it without our incredible volunteers, who gave so generously of their time, energy, and hearts. We are truly grateful for your support in making this fundraiser such a success.

A very special thank you to T&C for your generous donation, which allowed us to provide healthy snacks and meals to keep our hardworking campers and volunteers energized throughout the week.

From all of us at Happy Hooves Sanctuary, thank you for helping make this an unforgettable week. We appreciate each and every one of you!

Yesterday was a difficult day for our sweet Missy. She went down and was unable to get back up on her own, and despite our best efforts, she needed additional help.

We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to the Bainbridge Island Fire Department for responding and working so hard to help Missy. Your kindness and willingness to serve our community do not go unnoticed.

We are also incredibly grateful to Dr. Adam from Sound Equine, who came out and refused to give up on our old girl. Thanks to her dedication and expertise, Missy was given another chance.

Moments like this remind us how lucky we are to live in such a caring and compassionate community. We could not do what we do at Happy Hooves Sanctuary without the support of so many wonderful people.

Thank you,
HHS Staff
