Stephanie's Story

Larry Cudmore • November 26, 2025

Stephanie is living proof of the transformation that can take place between a person and Horses. She is also a testimony to the truth that Champs Heart is 99% successful in getting anybody on a horse that wants to be. We are beyond thankful we can bring about stories like this!

"Our daughter, Stephanie, was born with Cerebral Palsy, a form of brain damage that keeps her from independently walking, eating, using her hands, and speaking.

But it doesn’t keep her from going to Champ’s Heart every week, and having the time of her life. It doesn’t keep her from feeling others’ love and sharing hers, right back. And it doesn’t keep her from giving Champ’s Heart volunteers and horses the biggest smiles we see from her all week.

Thank you to all of you who make Thursday the best day of Stephanie’s week! We love you. "

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!”
