Lend a Healing Hand
Hands for Healing Equine runs on hands and hooves. Suzanne and Katie facilitate the learning, the herd leads the way, and the daily care of the farm — all stalls cleaned, grain and hay measured to each equine's feeding plan, water buckets filled and refreshed, paddock turnouts in the morning and back in at night — falls to Suzanne and a small group of volunteers. Plus everything else: fence repairs, weekday mornings spent grooming a donkey who's earned it, and the slow work of growing a nonprofit while running one. We need more hands. Whatever you have to offer, we likely need it. Here's where to start.

Sponsor an Equine
Sophie, Momma, Poe, and Autumn cost roughly $2,500 a month to feed, shoe, vet, and care for between them. Every gift goes directly toward keeping the herd healthy and the work running. Named sponsorship of individual equines is coming soon; for now, contributions support all four.

Partner with Us
We're building relationships with clinicians, veteran-serving organizations, recovery programs, and grief support networks across Boston's North Shore. If you run a program or practice that serves people who might benefit from ground-based equine-assisted learning, we'd like to talk.
"Every hand counts. So does every hour. So does every hay penny."
