We are a essential herd of 6 magical loving youth project horses who need immediate  help with hay, feed and pasture board until we move to a sustainable community in several months. With the onset of the Corona Virus Stay at Home Quarantine , we have had to suspend our Horse School " Horses Healing Minds"  at our current location where have been living and teaching for the past 4 years.

Also, our Certified lifelong horse-mother Kandice, is an active Gemstone and Gemstone Jewelry Market Vendor. This market venue  also helped support the cause, research, feed and care of our herd.
In the beginning of March, the first onset of the quarantine closings began, all the vendor markets and show locations were shut down due to more than 100 people coming to these events.
Now the dates of this quarantine have been extended and expanded thru at least April. This leaves the vendor market and show business closed during the spring market season.
In response to the further market closing days, Kandice is currently listing and building  inventory on eBay, please see link below.                                                               https://www.ebay.com/usr/batt_kand 

With the future of our current situation financially and physically unsustainable as a sole proprietor, we are moving several months sooner than the original planned thoughts.
The move is 35 miles to a nice rural working sustainable lake  community setting of several folks and family, where creating and sharing fundamental life sustaining projects is our core. We are part of an exciting essential shift in our conscience abilities and live by
the Golden Rule,       " Do no harm".
                        
(Please read below for more about our type of projects.)

In this effort, many of our
collective and individual needs can be met. The herd has several open capable loving arms to help ensure they will be cared for as we grow.

One of our herds projects will be to preserve the Horse Masters teachings and the way of the Horse in relationships and nature.  While continuing to help youth/ adults heal body, mind and spirit thru experiential individual experiences. Some settings will focus on the opportunity for high functioning youth to help with focus, balance and vitamin N for Nature and Horses.

By the time we settle into our new home, we will offer day, horse camps and nature hikes around the lake for the youth.
We also will continue to be active in homeschooling, providing a platform for outdoor learning, living and play. One of these projects is called Nature Scouts which will include gardening and discovery.

The funds we are asking for will cover 2 1/2 months of care, feed and pasture board for the herd of
6 horses. This will also all provide us with the gasoline to the property to finish fencing along with other prep and moving projects. We have a horse trailer that is a 2 horse, but we would like to hire to have them transported all at the same time. There is a little cushion of $500 for the unexpected costs like repairs etc. My personal RV will also move to the community so we can work, play and live within the community.
