Peaceful Acres Horses

Peaceful Acres Horses (Pattersonville, New York) is a unique farm where rescued and retired horses are rehabilitated and guide children and adults in healing emotionally, psychologically, and physically.

During the six weekly sessions the RA1 students spent at the picturesque Peaceful Acres, they were introduced to the sights, sounds, and sensations of the rural outdoors — a novelty for some who live in more urban settings. They also learned important lessons — basic caretaking and grooming, how to remain calm and still in the presence of a frightened horse — through a series of activities designed to build trust and familiarity between horses and humans.

Peaceful Acres Horses’ mission is to provide a therapeutic environment for both horses and people to resolve issues related to grief, loss, and trauma, and to regain strength and trust. Partnered together in equine-assisted experiential learning and psychotherapy programs, the horses and people both learn skills and find a supportive environment that improves their quality of life. Peaceful Acres Horses offers therapeutic services through Youth, Family, and Women’s Programs.

The mission of MCRS is:

• Education: To reduce the number of unwanted rabbits and to improve the lives of companion rabbits by educating the public and assisting humane societies.
• Adoption: To help rabbits in area shelters, or those that shelters can no longer care for, to find permanent homes.

The Minnesota Companion Rabbit Society works to let people know that domestic rabbits can and do make wonderful companions, as long as you are willing to meet them on their terms. MCRS teaches “bunny parent” classes, trains shelter staff, offers bunny tune-ups, maintains a phone and email hotline so that people can contact it with questions or problems, and generally tries to help keep rabbits and their human companions living happily together.

In addition, MCRS has a small number of fosterers who work with the local shelter systems to help them lower their euthanasia rates and raise their adoption rates. Its fostering efforts focus primarily on rabbits who are relatively healthy but are not well-suited to the shelter environment due to personality or temperment. In addition, MCRS occasionally helps the shelters with a rabbit who is ill when it believes that the additional time and expertise that it can offer the rabbit may make the critical difference in saving that rabbit’s life.
