Art, Heart and Hoofbeats - Equine Rescue and Sanctuary

Hi, I'm Marie Ridgeway, a first responder therapist in MN, and I'm raising funds for Art Heart and Hoofbeats-Equine Rescue and Sanctuary. We are partnering to provide Equine Assisted Therapy and Support to Public Safety personnel in MN. This incredible organization is dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating equines in need, providing them a safe haven where they can heal and thrive, and helping first responders in their healing along with these equine partners. Every horse deserves a second chance, and every first responder needs an outlet for healing, and with your help, we can make this a reality. Our public safety specific program is called Blue HeARTs & Hoofbeats.

Your support helps with operating costs for Art Heart and Hoofbeats, which makes our Equine Assisted programming possible. You will make a difference by contributing towards efforts like:

Every donation, no matter the size, brings us closer to ensuring these beautiful animals are cared for and able to assist me and my work with first responders. Join me in supporting Art Heart and Hoofbeats, and let’s work together to make a lasting impact on the lives of these deserving horses and first responders!

Help Us Give Jakers the Care He Deserves!

Hi, my name is Anne Krocak from Art, Heart, and Hoofbeats – Equine Rescue and Sanctuary, a 501(c)(3) non-profit focused on healing horses and humans. Today, we need your help to support one of our special horses, Jakers.

Jakers’ Journey -

Jakers came to us six months ago, distrustful after a life of uncertainty. With time, patience, and care, he’s learned to trust again and now seeks connection with people.

A New Challenge -

Jakers has asthma ("Heaves") and recently developed painful laminitis in his front hooves from the constant use of steriods. To help manage his breathing and protect his hooves, our vet recommended a $1,200 Flexineb E3 nebulizer. Unfortunately, we couldn’t find a used one anywhere.

How You Can Help-

We’re asking for donations to help cover the cost of this essential device for Jakers. Every dollar will go directly to this purchase. If you can’t donate, sharing his story with others is just as valuable.

Thank you for your kindness and support.

With gratitude,

Anne Krocak
