About Us
Healing Through Horses
Saving Grace Healing With Horses is a nonprofit offering guided equine experiences that help children and adults build connection, confidence, and healing through time with horses.
Saving Grace Healing with Horses was founded in 2026 on the belief that every person matters and that time with horses can open the door to hope, calm, and healing. Our nonprofit serves children and adults across Southeast Tennessee through guided equine experiences centered on relationship, trust, and care.
We welcome children, teens, adults, veterans, seniors, and individuals with additional support needs who may benefit from encouragement, connection, and confidence-building in a peaceful farm setting. Every visit is shaped with compassion and care for the people we serve.
Saving Grace Healing with Horses is an Equine Ministry that connects a horse and its guests bringing hope and healing to people through the genuine and gentle power of horses.
When a horse becomes someone to know, not just something to ride then the connection goes deeper than words.
Meet Our Horses
The Horses We Love
Each horse in our herd has a unique story, personality, and way of connecting. Getting to know them is part of understanding the healing they help make possible.
Victor (left) joined the founding family in December of 2023 and is a 20-year-old Thoroughbred gelding and the tallest of the herd at 16.5 hands. Adopted from a rescue, he came to us suffering from food deprivation anxiety because his previous owner was not able to provide regular feeding care. He arrived a little underweight, so a high-fat diet was started. He had participated in youth lessons with the rescue, and although he had a high-energy personality, he showed his sweetness right away. It took time to gain his trust and understand his dynamics. He loves being the security guard for his horse buddies and is always on the lookout for danger. He was even the one to alert us when his pasture mate was in distress.

Major Tom (middle), whom we call Major, came to us from Dani, one of the sweetest members of our community, on loan indefinitely. When Victor lost his second pasture mate, Dani offered her horses as friends for Victor, helping save him from stress colic that could have become life-threatening since he is such a protector. Major is a senior Tennessee Walker gelding with extensive experience under saddle. He is sweet and a little pushy if food is involved. He is blind in one eye, so everyone caring for him has to adjust their approach and presence to make sure he knows they are there and does not react out of fear. He startles easily but has never lashed out.

Black Jack (right), whom we call Jack, also came to us from Dani because he and Major were pasture buddies and could not be separated. That meant Victor got two new friends at once, and he was thrilled. Jack is a senior Tennessee Walker gelding and the absolute sweetest dollbaby of the herd. He is the smallest and daintiest of the herd and the most docile in any situation. He also has extensive experience under saddle. He is very inquisitive, and at feeding time he is very vocal about making sure we know he is there and ready to eat. He is not pushy about being fed, but he does like to announce himself. He even gently kicks the bottom of the stall door while telling us he is hungry and to hurry up. Of course, he gets fed first.
We are not a horse rescue. We use horses to help with healing for people, and we believe each horse has its own personality that takes patience, understanding, and observation to truly know.
