I’m raising money for the Horses for Mental Health campaign because I’ve seen firsthand how powerful the connection between horses and humans can be. Horses help people feel safe, understood, and grounded in ways that words sometimes can’t. They teach confidence, emotional regulation, and trust—especially for those who are struggling. This campaign helps make those life-changing experiences accessible to more people who need them.

Mental Health is such a near and dear topic to my heart, having lost a very close family member to their battle with mental health. I am proud to support HMH mission that makes life-changing experiences accessible to more people who need them.
