Welcome to
Soulstride Sanctuary
What We Do
We guide horses and humans toward safety, connection, and new beginnings through intentional rescue, thoughtful rehabilitation, and community-centered healing.
Rescue & Intake
We attend auctions where draft horses are often vulnerable or at risk of being sold into unsafe situations. Our goal is to give these hard-working horses a second chance—allowing them to step out of a life where they were once treated as tools and into one where their sentience, personality, and purpose are finally honored.
Rehabilitation & Training
Using gentle, relationship-based methods, we help horses rebuild trust, strength, and confidence. Every horse receives individualized care—from bodywork to emotional support to thoughtful groundwork—to prepare them for adoption or long-term sanctuary.
Community & Healing
Soulstride creates opportunities for humans to reconnect with themselves through the grounding presence and wisdom of horses. Our community offerings include experiences like sound healing in the barn, guided meditation and breathwork beside the herd, mindful education days, somatic awareness practices, yoga with horses, and seasonal connection events. Each gathering weaves practices that support slowing down, embodiment, and mutual growth—nurturing compassion, regulation, and a deeper sense of belonging for both horses and humans.
The Mission
Soulstride Sanctuary is a nonprofit draft-horse-focused rescue where healing, rehabilitation, and connection come together. We provide safe intake, medical and emotional rehabilitation, thoughtful training, and adoption pathways for draft horses in need, while also creating meaningful opportunities for humans to reconnect with themselves through presence and partnership with these gentle giants. Rooted in mindfulness, community, and mutual healing, Soulstride is a place where rescued horses find new beginnings—and people rediscover pieces of themselves along the way.
Meet the Founders
Soulstride Sanctuary was founded by three people whose paths converged through a shared devotion to healing, service, and the quiet wisdom of horses. Keira brings a deep background in holistic nutrition, wellness, and somatics; Lauren bridges energy healing with education and intuitive connection; and Jon offers a foundation in wellness, coaching, and business leadership. Together, we form a team rooted in compassion, clarity, and steady determination.
Each of us has experienced firsthand how horses hold space for the parts of us that need grounding, reflection, and truth. They mirror what we carry, remind us of our wholeness, and meet us with a presence that asks for nothing and offers everything. Soulstride is the beginning of our shared vision—a sanctuary shaped by heart, integrity, and the belief that healing unfolds most powerfully when horses and humans walk the path together.
