https://bit.ly/hh-zeffy We know that many of our youth are struggling through the challenges of our current times and also know that being in nature and interacting with animals is a healing and heart-opening experience. Because of ou

r desire to share ranch life and the animals with kids, we have developed a day long, hands on experience at Treasured Heart Ranch where kids can be with the animals and explore the land. Our program will be offered once each month through the spring and fall and is funded by our generous donors!

Animal spotlight: Digger! Digger is a 29 year old Quarter horse and Welsh pony cross. He rarely ever spooks - he's got "been there, done that" energy that makes him invaluable when interacting with our guests. He does have a bit of a naughty, impatient streak, especially when we dare to make him wait for dinner. In the video, he was all fired up after a recent bath and was playing with Rowan.

We are just as tired as yawning Peaches! Today was a double header with our last camp of the season (8 kids!) and tabling at Elk Grove Pride.
It was so nice to meet several of you and we hope to see you at one of our upcoming events! Time for bed, with full hearts.

Have you ever painted with a horse? Bella got to make her first painting with her new horse Taber, and Taber seems pretty proud of his work!

Happy Pride Month from our resident unicorn!
Many of our board members and volunteers proudly identify as LGBTQIA+. Its important to us that Hands and Hoofs is a safe, welcoming and inclusive place to be for all. We know that finding community as an adult can be particularly challenging so we love providing a joyful third space.
Join us this Saturday for our monthly Open Jam session and stay tuned for a special Pride event later this month.

Goose is one of our absolute rockstars in our program. He's sweet and well mannered and gives even the most timid kids confidence. He has a history of some rough training making him reactive under saddle and he has navicular, so his feet can be very painful. Since our programs center on connection from the ground, we don't need him to be ridden and his personality is just perfect. (Many thanks to Angi Skye Dawn's Horse Training for match making!)
In order to manage his navicular, he gets special shoes and pads plus daily medication to keep him comfortable and having fun.
We are committed to providing a high quality of care to our animals. Thankfully, the Sacramento Valley Vet Medical Association also recognized how amazing Goose is and awarded Hands and Hoofs a $1,500 grant to cover his expensive shoes and meds for a year. We are so grateful for their support!

Saturday was spa day for our donks Maria and Betsy! Both got a hoof trim, bath and luxurious blow out. Betsy gets a very thick coat and struggles with skin issues so she got her yearly clip (had to leave her boots with the fur!) Her clip also shows off her BLM freeze brand.

Both enjoyed lots of treats, scritches and cuddles. Many thanks to our long-suffering donkey handler and bather, Andy

Want to blow dry a donkey? Braid a mini? Give a giant horse a massage?
It all happened this weekend! Reach out for more info about how you can volunteer to help take care of our animals that do so much for us. 😊

Happy Mother's day to the mommas - whether related by blood, family by choice, momma to fur kids or auntie to many. Thank you for all you do to spread more love and joy and safety in this world.

For folks who struggle with mother's day, we see you too. For those trying or unable to be a mother, those with strained relationships, or those grieving, we know this day can be challenging. Sending out love to you, and appreciation for all you do to spread happiness, whatever that looks like to you.

Love looks different for everyone. What's one way youre showing love this week?
