Horse Spirit

Horse Spirit Equine Assisted Learning for individuals dealing with physical, mental, social, and emotional challenges. Veteran owned and operated.

Horse Spirit was dreamt about and brought to life by Sandy Jean Sheehan. Horses were Sandy's passion. She and her husband traveled the country showing cutting horses in the National Cutting Horse Association (NCHA), where Sandy, along with her mare, Justa Swingin Farrah, attained many trophies and buckles including top in her class for her area, which included all of Minnesota, North Dakota, and S

outh Dakota. It was 2006 when Sandy and Leonard bought a chunk of land in the Brown Lee area south of Hayward, Wisconsin and built Whispering Oaks Equine Center where they bred, raised, and rescued many horses. A few years later, Sandy's most precious memories came to life when working with the youth, adults and combat veterans of the area using her horses as healers and working with connecting horse spirit to help both the young and older folks be the best they could be. Sandy lost her battle with cancer on August 23, 2015, but her legacy and passion for horses and people carries on through the non-profit organization, Horse Spirit.

Horse Spirit welcomed veterans from The 23rd Veteran Organization out of Duluth for a full day workshop. In the morning, they worked with the horses and were exposed to Equine Learning. After lunch of great cheeseburgers, chips,and a drink, they headed down the Namekagon River for four hours of canoeing and kayaking led by Jeff Butler our adventure coordinator. We look forward to working with them again in the future.

Just watched this incredible documentary and recommend it to everyone ~ veteran or not. These people are doing great work to help veterans.

For anyone interested in learning more about the work that Skeleton Crew Adventures is doing with veterans and curious about how our organization was started, our documentary, Hell or High Seas, is now available for free on Amazon Prime for US subscribers.

Our mission is to provide sailing as a form of adventure therapy for veterans, raise awareness for veteran mental health and su***de prevention.
