The Return of Lyra & Artemis
In 2020, I rescued, rehabilitated, two mares, Lyra and Artemis. (Artemis and I have a longer history but she came back to me in 2020). They found a loving home in late 2022, but on August 31, 2025, they returned to me. Their former human, with great love and honesty, shared that she could no longer provide the specialized care Lyra needed and felt she needed a different kind of facility which I have. Because the two mares are deeply bonded, she asked that I take them both back together. Lyra requires specialty shoes every four weeks, ongoing veterinary care, and a carefully managed diet to continue healing her feet. Artemis, her loyal companion, needs gentle handling, consistent care, and the safety of remaining by Lyra’s side. Their return was unexpected. Along with the joy of welcoming them back into the herd, it also brings significant unplanned expenses and has filled the last two open spaces in my facility — spaces I normally hold for client horses. This is why I’m opening the door to sponsorship opportunities. Sponsorship allows our community to step in and support Lyra and Artemis in their healing journey while also creating meaningful connections between people and horses.
Full Sponsorship (per horse)
- Lyra → $302/month
- Artemis → $183/month
What’s included:
- Each horse gets their own sponsor and that's the horse you get to bond with.
- Weekly sponsor visits on Wednesdays, 10–11:30am (shared with two other sponsors and the horse they chose).
- During your visits, you’ll be invited to groom, spend time, and learn with your horse while guided by Michelle. This is a $200 session value — an $800 monthly value included in your sponsorship.
- 20% off all workshops and retreats
- Commitment: 3-month minimum + 30 days’ notice if you decide to change
Please note: This program is not riding-based. These are rescue horses, and your sponsorship helps socialize them and deepen their comfort with humans.
Community Sponsorship
- $50/month or $100/month
What’s included:
- Access to a monthly community day with all of the horses
Why Sponsorship Matters
By becoming a sponsor, you’re not just helping cover costs — you’re stepping into the healing circle of Horse Medicine. Together, we create a circle of care, belonging, and connection — with each other, and with Horse.
The below donations are monthly donations towards the herd. We are able to help more horses because of YOU and thank you for your contribution to supporting our herd members in need! Upon setting up your sponsorship donation you will receive info on your weekly or monthly days depending on which sponsorship you chose.
Thank YOU!!!!
