The range and variety of programs, services and ways to connect that are offered at Peaceful Acres, and by Nanci are unique. We like to do things a bit differently around here. One reason is that the connection with nature, and the animals that live at Peaceful Acres can positively impact all sorts of people in many transformative ways. There is a peacefulness and freedom found at Peaceful Acres that creates, in many ways, an almost indescribable change in us – the community, volunteers/caretakers, donors and participants.

Whether you are a middle-school age youth trying to navigate the challenges that come with increased independence and pressure from peers, and you could use some guidance in developing your courage and clarity of communication, or a teen that is facing more than you expected, and could really benefit from a real-world connection in a Stable Place, PAH programs could be a positive and lasting influence in these areas of need.

Perhaps, you’re an adult that is noticing that something is missing from your lifestyle, and you don’t like how you fill your free time – you want a more meaningful and fulfilling way to use your time and attention. I think a lack of connection with nature, others and animals can leave us kind of bored, lonely and sad. Getting involved with positive new activities creates a ripple-effect of healthy changes that can surprise us. Simple changes, and choices when done consistently, can lead to an improved quality of life. PAH loves being a part of this transformation for people.

The opportunities at and through PAH, and Nanci can be helpful, and bring joy to people that are going through really difficult challenges in life, or simply just LOVE horses, and being a part of a passionate group of people who want to do some good in the world. We try to meet you where you’re at and to encourage, learn and improve our lives, and the lives of those around us together, especially the horses, minis, donkeys and mules!

Volunteer Testimonials & Short Stories:

“On a Sunday in October 2021, I attended a “Stable Day” event at Peaceful Acres Horses.  It had been almost 30 years since losing my Palomino, my best friend of 20 years.  Being in the presence of the rescues, hearing their stories, the smells, the sounds, brought me back to times spent with my horse.  I wanted to be in that environment again.

It’s a little over two years now of learning and loving.  Learning how to care for and interact with those who were unwanted, abandoned, abused.  Being in their presence when they respond in a positive, trusting way when shown love and attention.  I’ve never been around donkeys, minis or mules, so that’s been so much fun and a real joy.  They are quite the characters and more my size.  LOL
I love taking photos, and Peaceful Acres gives me the opportunity to try and capture the beauty of the farm and the rescues who dwell there.  Quiet times, when it’s just me with the rescues, is my most favorite time.” -AMR
