Our Mission
At Horse Whispers we connect system involved youth in San Benito, Santa Cruz, and Monterey Counties to the healing power of horses.
The Horse Whispers barn is a healing space that fosters growth, community and connection in all participants. We are a non-profit that facilitates positive experiences, allowing feedback between the horses and humans. We believe that our equine partners have much to teach us about being present and aware in every moment.
When we go to the barn to be with horses we are invited to slow down from our busy lives and be more present. The outdoor experience allows us to recalibrate our pace and honor our animal instincts so we can attune more closely to the natural cycles of the earth.
Horse Whispers aims to heal people and the planet using the knowledge and wisdom of both nature and our equine family.

H-H Farm
On our 5 acre farm we have many animal friends both wild and domestic! We have 4 horses: Jackson, Tessa, Rio and Sully (mini pony). Mike, the goat, is Sully's best friend. There are chickens and barn cats. Our dog and favorite cuddlebug is Sandy (picture to the left)! We have majestic views here and room to roam. |
Our role is to support our most vulnerable youth to become the best they can be!
Our Human TeamOur team of volunteers makes it all possible. |
Our Herd
|
Jackson
Jackson loves kids! He is the herd leader and a very sensitive soul. He looks out for the other horses and he looks out for us too. He was born a twin!
|
Tessa
Tessa is our oldest horse, at 21 years old, but she is still young at heart! She works hard and is ever so gentle with the kids.
|
Sully (and Mike)
Sully and Mike were our 2024 Christmas gift! They are best friends. Sully is the more serious type while Mike is silly and playful.
