At Hidden Pastures, we believe healing, growth, and connection happen in the HERD. Our farm is a place where individuals, families, and groups can step away from the noise of everyday life and find renewal through hands-on experiences with horses, nature, and community. Whether you’re seeking personal growth, emotional resilience, or simply a space to reconnect, our equine-assisted coaching and farm-based programs provide a powerful path forward. Through meaningful interactions with horses and the land, participants discover confidence, clarity, and the strength that comes from being part of something bigger. No matter your journey, the HERD is here to welcome you.
