Experience the Connection of Horses

Our story began more than a decade ago with a horse named Faith and a dream—to one day bring horses home to our own backyard. During the long journey of waiting, working, and trusting, we discovered something profound: horses speak to our hearts in ways words never can. We had no idea then how deeply these animals would shape who we are, how we live, and our sense of purpose.

For more than ten years, horses have been woven into our everyday life, gently teaching us patience, presence, trust, and compassion. Through them, we have witnessed minds find peace, confidence take root, and hearts open in quiet, meaningful ways. Horses have an incredible ability to meet people exactly where they are—offering calm, connection, and reflection without judgment. This work is a gift and a responsibility; one we approach with gratitude and love.

At the heart of Shared Moments Equine Experience is a simple desire: to share the blessing of our horses with others. After finally purchasing our land, we spent three intentional years building a barn and creating a space rooted in peace, love, and purpose—a place where both people and horses can simply be present. Today, our barn doors are open, our hearts are ready, and we welcome others to step into this space with us.

Whether it’s an individual meet-and-greet in the barn, unhurried family time, a gentle walk alongside a horse during a learning experience, or a meaningful moment captured in a photoshoot, we believe the most powerful moments are often the simplest ones. These are the moments that slow us down, draw us closer, and leave lasting impressions on the heart.

Shared Moments Equine Experience is rooted in gratitude—for the horses who loved us back, for the land entrusted to us, and for every person who chooses to share a moment of their story with us.

    Stella- a tiny chestnut powerhouse! 🦾

Don’t let the size fool you—this mini girl is a full-sized personality in a compact package. Chestnut-colored and endlessly spunky, she’s brave, curious, and proudly a firecracker. Resilient, she approaches life head-on, convinced that the world is meant to be explored (and sampled, preferably if snacks are involved).

She adores her big-horse friends and has absolutely no problem holding her own among them. Fiercely devoted, she takes her role as protector of her sister Bella very seriously, standing watch with confidence well beyond her stature. Kisses on her muzzle are her favorite form of affection, and she returns them with charm to spare.

Unapologetically herself, full of heart, and always ready for the next adventure—or treat—she’s proof that bravery isn’t measured in hands high, but in spirit.

 Bella- a soft-spoken little soul 🤗

This sweet mini horse is the definition of gentle charm. Shy and reserved by nature, she prefers to take her time—watching, learning, and quietly deciding when the moment feels right. She’s thoughtful, smart, and cautiously curious about the world around her.

Affection comes softly with her, but when it does, it’s sincere and heart-melting. She loves warm sunshine, peaceful moments, and calm company, soaking it all in with quiet appreciation. Curvy and cute with a tender presence, she brings a sense of calm wherever she goes.

She may not be the loudest in the pasture, but her willingness, sweetness, and steady trust speak volumes. She’s a reminder that some of the most meaningful connections are built slowly—and are absolutely worth the wait.

 Bodhi- the spotted sweetheart with a PhD in relaxation. Bodhi is the definition of easygoing charm. With his spotted good looks, goofy personality, and laid-back approach to life, he's happiest surrounded by his herd and keeping company with his favorite mini horses. A natural babysitter, he has a special softness for the little ones and seems to understand that sometimes the best thing you can do is simply be there. His calm nature is so legendary that he can practically fall asleep while someone is sitting on him- talk about taking relaxation to a whole new level! And when it comes to affection, Bodhi is a professional snuggler who takes his job seriously. Personal Space? He's not entirely sure why anyone would need that! Sweet, steady and wonderfully silly, Bodhi reminds us that you don't always need to be the biggest personality in the room to make the biggest impact. Sometimes, all you need is a kind heart, a good herd, and an excellent nap schedule

             Darlin- Quietly Confident Dark Bay!  💕           Smaller in size but mighty in presence, this lovely lady proves that leadership doesn't have to be loud. A girl with a heart of gold, she is safe, sensible, and deeply trustworthy- the kind of horse you can count on without a second thought. Brave when it matters and sweet in every moment, she carries herself with a calm, quiet authority that keeps everyone in line. 

Her coat is impossibly soft- it's hard to stop petting her- and her gentle nature makes it easy to fall in love. She has a curious side too, especially when it comes to trying to sneak a sip of your matcha tea, just to see what the fuss is all about. When she's not supervising the herd, you'll often find her stretched out in the pasture, enjoying a well-earned nap under the sky. 

With a true heart to please and a deep love for the outdoors, she's the perfect blend of a dependable partner and quiet best friend- steady, kind and just silly enough to keep you smiling.

There's a calm confidence about him- a steadfast presence that makes you feel secure the moment you're in his orbit. He's not flashy for the sake of it; his strength is in his reliability, his heart, and his willingness to work. in a world full of noise, Maverick is solid ground- dependable, devoted, and always in your corner and ready.

🪽In memory of Onyx- a magnificent gentle giant 🖤 

She was a large black beauty with an even bigger heart, she was calm, peaceful, and quietly wise. Older and wonderfully steady, she carried herself with grace and the lessons she taught will never be forgotten. Slow down, be present and take in the moments happening all around you.
