Nolan's Story
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!”
