The Mission
To provide a therapeutic environment for both horses and people to resolve issues related to grief, loss and trauma, and to regain strength and trust.
Mission for Youth Programs is to provide services for youth ages 9 -17 that offer strengths-based solutions, providing the opportunity to improve emotional, social, academic and coping skills.
Mission for Equine Rescue and Retirement is to offer rehabilitation, re-homing and retirement sanctuary to horses who have been a product of animal cruelty, aging out of original recreational use, or companion horses who are unable to be placed or sold to forever homes. PAH provides or facilitates placement in forever homes to all breeds of horses; most horses on site are Off Track Thoroughbreds, Quarter Horses, Drafts and Ponies.

A MESSAGE FROM NANCI
Hi, my name is Nanci, I am the Founder and Executive Director of Peaceful Acres Horses, Inc. I look forward to hearing from you and introducing you to the benefits of our Equine Assisted Experiential Learning Program. I am blessed to be able to be the conduit to provide EAL/P to people in need or those wishing to improve their quality of life. Peaceful Acres has been developed as a "Center" for all to seek empowerment and life changing experiences. The horses are our friends who make that possible - schedule a session so you may meet one of our many therapy horses - most of whom have been rescued by Peaceful Acres.
We are blessed to provide this farm as a sanctuary for horses and people - a place where the horses are guiding people through a journey of healing. We are counting our blessings one horse and one person at a time!
