Our Mission is to promote and enhance the physical and emotional growth of people of all ages and unique abilities through the use of therapeutic, outdoor experiences including interactions with horses and other domesticated animals.
The essential joy of being with horses is that it brings us in contact with the rare elements of grace, beauty, spirit, and freedom.

Proudly serving Snohomish County, Washington!
These different programs offer participants, of all ages and abilities, a safe and unique opportunity to partner with horses while working from the ground. Check out each of our programs below!
What we hear from our volunteers:
'This is a life-changing experience'
We need your help!
In addition to arena help, we also need help with a variety of other activities such as Newsletters, Social Media, Marketing, Fundraising, and Event Planning. If you are a senior who is willing to share your time and experience, please contact us!
We couldn't exist without our Donors. Your donations provide scholarships to participants in need and help us care for our beautiful horses. Every dollar helps!
Thank you to our Community Donors!
Thank you for your patience and understanding during our recent cold weather closures. We truly dislike canceling sessions for any reason, and we appreciate your flexibility when weather conditions make it unavoidable. The safety of our participants, volunteers, and horses always comes first, and your support makes these difficult decisions a little easier.
Here at the farm, the unmistakable signs of winter coming to an end are everywhere. Spring is such a hopeful season, shedding horses, blooming daffodils, and the arrival of baby animals bring so much life and color after the long stretch of cold, gray days. The changing season always reminds us why this place is so special and why the work we do here matters.
We are especially excited to be planting our new orchard in the coming weeks. This project has been a long-held dream, and it will add beauty, shade, and nourishment to the farm for years to come. We are incredibly grateful to Sunnyside Nursery for generously donating 50% of the cost of our trees. Their support, like that of so many others in our community, helps make these meaningful improvements possible.
Once again, we are reminded that Courageous Connections is strengthened by the generosity and encouragement of the people around us. Our community continues to show up for our mission, and we are deeply thankful to share this journey with you.
With gratitude,
