This week, we're shining a light on the incredible work happening at Harmony IN Horses, nestled in Sheridan, Boone County, Indiana. Thanks to the dedication of Lisa Condes, this haven offers hope and healing through transformative Equine-Assisted Learning, tailored for youth facing complex trauma.

"There's nothing more rewarding than watching a young person learn to trust and believe in themselves through their partnership with a horse," shares Lisa, a Master Level Social Worker and Equine-Assisted Therapist.

At Harmony IN Horses, wild-born mustangs and rescued horses mirror the resilience and bravery of the young hearts they help to heal. Lisa founded this tranquil sanctuary in 2022, inspired by her unwavering belief in the healing power of horses.

Participants at this serene place gain life skills like teamwork and leadership, learning practical horse care and farm maintenance while building trust, confidence, and belief in themselves.

Imagine helping a once-shy participant lead a wild mustang through an obstacle course or seeing the joy and laughter when Kiki, the curly-coated pony, decides a mud bath is more fun! These are the moments that define Harmony IN Horses as a place of peace, resilience, and healing.

And there’s more exciting news! Harmony IN Horses is gearing up to host a couple Ben’s Ranch Small Group Programs and Bootcamps in 2025! A perfect opportunity to join their mission and support youth empowerment through nature's touch.

For anyone visiting or volunteering, be sure to check out the beautiful Nature Trail under development— a testament to the collaborative spirit of this wonderful community.
