Some of my very first memories involve horses. I grew up on the back of them and they taught me more about life than any human ever could. They taught me how to care for those who don’t have a voice. They taught me love and compassion. They taught me that hard work equals success, and that patience is one of the most important things in life. My life’s mission is to be able to create a sanctuary for underprivileged and inner city children of the greater Nashville area to be able to spend time on a farm and meet horses. I truly believe that offering a learning environment for these kids to learn about horses, farm and homestead life, and green environmental practices will not only enrich their their childhoods- but it will give our community the opportunity to one day be lead by young adults who know the importance of green thinking, and how horses can impact others in a positive way. 

At Wilder Grace, we offer quarterly Discovery Camps to students k-12, handy capable children, and underprivileged children within the greater Nashville area. These camps will include learning about horses, how to care for them, riding opportunities, how to care for the horses’ stables, and much more. Offering these camps will give children the opportunity to care for living animals which will give them a sense of responsibility, confidence and pride, something that they may not get at home. My hope is to be able to instill a passion in these children, give them something to be excited about, and give them an unforgettable experience that they will be able to keep with them for the rest of their lives.
