Climate Change Preparedness Initiative

Becoming Self-Sustaining

Our farm has to become a self-sustaining horse farm throughout climate change. The impacts of climate change are already hitting the farm's bottom-line with severe hay and feed cost premiums. We have determined that we will not be a farm that disappears as a result of climate change. Instead, we will become sustainable!


We thought we had ten years to make the changes we need, but it is now clear that we don't. With your help, we can condense the transformation schedule to 2 years and reduce our dependence on outside food sources. 


Costs to remove invasive species, soil test, create the proper microbiome for the soils to sustain, even in long-term drought, and plant/establish native species that horses will eat, should be in the $30,000 range. Property clearing alone will cost $12,000. Being a low-profit/no-profit business means these funds are going to be difficult to come by. 


We need your help! Start by participating in the fundraiser below!

Epicure Fundraiser (ends 2/28/2023)

This Epicure Fundraiser will begin to move the dial from $0 to $30,000 to turn our horse farm into a sustainable paradise! Please share on social media (or wherever) and spread the word! 35% of sales go directly to HHIA. All orders have to be in by 2/28/2023.


Epicure provides tasty, healthy, quick meals (under 20 minutes). It's entirely gluten-free and has something for everyone (appetizers, desserts, comfort foods, meals for meat lovers and vegans, etc.)

"I have been taking lessons and attending training sessions for almost a year with Lisa; in addition to gaining strength, balance and confidence, I have found friendship with Lisa, her staff members as well as meeting other riders. A very family oriented facility and Lisa has a wealth of knowledge in the horse world.  Highly recommend for any age, experience level or discipline."

"Incredible teacher. Incredible Environment. My daughter has taken lessons here for almost two years and there is simply no comparison to the other places she had ridden.  Lisa is not just a great teacher.  She is a great person.  She is an incredible role model for my daughter and I am thankful that we have become a part of the HHIA community."

"I really appreciate your professional feedback and expertise and I trust you 100% with my horse. I am so grateful you have come to our barn. I love watching you work on the horses - you know so much about them and really care to help them. They do seem to enjoy it also!"

"We took our horse to have [rehab], he had an injury, and while he was there she also did some training with him. Before meeting Lisa, we were considering putting [our horse] down because no-one else had any answers about his injury and we didn't want him to suffer his whole life. Lisa assures is that she could do some training with him and he would be fine to trail ride without any pain. We are so glad we had her work with him because he has turned out to be a good trail horse and is happy and not in pain."

"This is the ultimate experience for people who want to learn about horses and their care. Lisa is extremely knowledgeable. She loves her horses and her riders. When I'm there watching my children work with the horses and ride, I'm in a happy place! I'm trying to figure out how to budget so I can learn to ride, too!"

Holistic Full Care Boarding

The healthiest horses don't live in stalls, but cannot be left unattended in a pasture either.  We provide the highest quality, customizable, holistic care by allowing our horses to live as naturally as possible on 68 acres while providing the components of care horses need in a domestic environment. We also help owners care for their horses through injuries, surgeries, illnesses and recovery/return to work afterwards: Care Beyond Repair™.
