@Christina Beaubien thank you! yes, Hoofbeats of Hope is an online program, a child of what we'd like to do in-person. My niche is the same as all of us, I think. Those who love horses and desire to make improvements in our personal growth. Here is an exerpt from my business plan: "Our mission is to make the transformative power of horses accessible to all ages and abilities.... With a strong commitment to equity and outreach, Healing Horse Touch is expanding its story-centered marketing, creating short-form video content to raise awareness and connect with underserved communities. By increasing visibility and building strategic partnerships, the nonprofit is not only continuing its mission—it’s deepening its impact. Healing Horse Touch is poised to become a trusted source of emotional healing and holistic support—both in person and online—offering connection, comfort, and renewal through the intuitive wisdom of horses. The business model centers on offering unmounted equine-assisted sessions that invite clients to explore their emotions, nurture self-discovery, and build resilience. As more people seek alternatives to traditional therapy, Healing Horse Touch is uniquely positioned to meet this growing need by providing an inclusive, heart-centered space where healing unfolds through the calming, intuitive presence of horses. The organization primarily serves individuals facing emotional overwhelm—trauma survivors, those navigating mental health challenges, and neurodivergent souls. It is especially devoted to those who yearn for the deep, soul-soothing connection that horses offer but may not have the financial means or physical ability to own or care for a horse themselves."

Just a quick note to let you all know that I'm still around! 🙂 This video is getting a lot of love on TikTok. 💜 I'm preparing a short series on what do we do?, why did we get started?, and info on our membership plan. The hard part now is to not be robotic while reading the script! 😄

@Health Coach Heather I am trying, but... even repeating it to a real person is robotic. My family thinks I have undiagnosed autism and it's shining through. 🫠

@Kaytea Thompson how beautiful! Maybe you could offer holistic classes on reconnecting with horses and a demonstration of using the stones to relax and ground your horse.

@Brandy Reedy I love how you replaced the "F" with a horse in your business name 🙂

How fun! Thank you!

@Christina Beaubien absolutely! We haven't had visitors for months, so it may be awhile

My new horse, Galaxy, came closer to me when I entered the pasture a few days ago. He's always shown interest in what I'm doing, but has not moved closer - this was a first. I know how to get him to come a lot quicker than what I've been allowing to develop naturally, but I've not been in a hurry with so much going on! I do hope to start working with him more soon though and this shows a readiness for that.
