Meet Leo

Larry Cudmore • January 21, 2026

Sometimes children are brought to Champs Heart to be encouraged to get over the fear of some things. To reduce the anxiety in their life. To just have some good free time when life has dealt the family, some severe blows and they’re no longer in the home. When they feel like they aren’t wanted, or safe or have been abused, or neglected, etc. Notice what this foster mom has to say about this little guy.

I am a Foster mom. I have fostered 5 children, one of which is still in my care. Leo is full of life and love. He has never been around horses, and he is 4 years old. Champ's Heart is so amazing and understanding, that they allow me to bring my foster kids with me when I bring my 3 children. I have seen Leo develop a love for horses. He is relaxed and happy when we're there. He loves being silly, and that includes riding backwards sometimes. He has the most fun at Champ's heart riding, wearing his cowboy boots, and visiting with the amazing Angels there.

Nolan's Story

By Larry Cudmore • November 19, 2025

How can it be that horses can make such a difference! Sometimes you just have to accept things with thankfulness even when you don’t understand! Read what this mother says about Nolan and how life has changed for him because of horse encounters! “Our family has been truly blessed by Champ’s Heart in ways we have never expected. Our son (Nolan) was non-verbal for several years, he’s on the spectrum and very hyper-active. He’s also struggled to make friends, but he absolutely has seen a world of difference since we’ve been going to Champ’s Heart! It’s not just the horses and how amazing they are but he loves the volunteers! He talks about Champ’s Heart to everyone he meets, he focuses more, and he’s learning to really appreciate routine. He reads the Champ’s Heart book What Can Carter Do? every night and he is so proud to be a part of the Champs Heart family!”
