If any of you are wondering what to get your family to help encourage they're love of horses, Hank the Misfit Pony, is at the top of my list to encourage a soft heart for these beautiful creatures.
Please add Hank to your Christmas list.
I'll also post the other books that I have on Amazon.
I'm in the process of finishing the Hank series, Ben the Pony that Could, and The Story of Jolly Rodge, a workbook for kids on horse care and the heart that goes into horse ownership.
Bless you all!

This is the tale of the misfit pony, Hank, who just wasn’t loved anywhere because he never fit in. Here in the land of unfit ponies, all ponies get to find their true calling on their lives and live to love the children who truly love them back to life. A Horses of Hope Tale

Although I'm stretched beyond belief, I'm truly loving every minute of using our rescued Horses for Horse Therapy. I can say, the horses were ready for this moment in time too.
Prepare, prepare, prepare, as we never know the day or the time that the flood gates open up.

I say this in my way almost every day. I’ve cried many tears over my first, and 2nd chapter of my horse journey.
It wasn’t until I walked away from traditional methods, did I truly see the harm that humans bring to the table in our ignorance.

Today I felt a wave of reflection… about the horses who lived through my learning curve.

They didn’t stay with me because they had the choice.
There were ropes, bridles, halters and fences—expectations.
There were times I led them without asking, touched them without listening,
and taught them what I had been taught.

They didn’t get to walk away when I did harmful things.
And that’s what humbles me the most.

I used to believe I was being kind.
And in many ways, I was doing my best.
But now I see how often doing my best still meant asking too much…
still meant silencing what they were trying to show me.

Most stood through it.
They bore it quietly.
They adapted—not because it was easy, but because it was safer to comply.

And still, they gave moments of softness.
A look. A breath. A leaning in.
Moments that taught me more than any lesson I ever tried to teach them.

I didn’t know what I didn’t know.
But now that I do… everything has changed.

I listen more now.
I question more.
And I honor every horse I meet as a being with their own life—not an extension of mine.

So this is for those horses, past and present.
You endured more than I saw at the time.
You lived through my becoming.

I owe you everything.

And I hope that now, in this quieter chapter,
I am someone worthy of standing beside you—without asking you to carry me.

With reverence,
🌿 Stormy

Our Story

Welcome to our page! Vision: To rescue at risk horses, who will in turn rescue us. My vision is to bring the unwanted in an environment of love and healing. I teach natural horsemanship to all ages and stages of growing. I truly hope to build your faith in humanity and faith in the power of loving horses. Hope: A feeling of expectation and desire of certain things to happen. Rescue: comprises responsive operations that usually involve the saving of life, or prevention of injury during an incident or dangerous situation.

Here's a list of the things Horses of Hope plans on doing this year. *Develop excellent natural horsemen and women who are (children) through our natural horsemanship courses, private lessons and workshops. *Create student lead private lessons and beginner courses. *Clear out more space for riding and pasture. *Do group trail rides with students with trail riding savvy. *Finish all horses so that our horses are available to be ridden by students as they climb the ladder in their horse savvy skills. *Develop Drill Teams that will do exhibitions and performances here for our entertainment pleasure, with the hopes of traveling to other local facilities and performing at their event. *Most importantly impart the desire to belong to the cause of saving, and rehabilitating at-risk horses. *Purchase 4 horse trailer and new truck for taking our drill team on the road, and saving at-risk horses. *Have a game day for all students on a regular basis.

Thank you in advance for helping us come closer to our projected goals. Sincerely, Michelle Everything I do is to save another life. If you don't want to come to a riding lesson, workshop, event or camp, consider donating time or money to this worthy cause.
