About Us

Our mission is to help people recognize themselves in horses, find true healing and connection through Jesus Christ and share the joy of  our rescued horses.

Hearts in Hand Horsemanship, LLC is a family-run organization for those young and old who love horses, want to feel warm horse breath on their cheeks and learn how to communicate in horse language. We provide equine services to youth at risk, military, police and first responders..

Why did we begin this equine services ministry? To share our blessings and great joy. We are honored to be an official “Similar Ministry” of Crystal Peaks Youth Ranch in Bend Oregon, the catalyst for our ministry.

The Bible says that our Lord Jesus Christ returns on His white horse, after which we will be with Him forever. We interact and ride our horses with the prayer that we are joining His heavenly army in spirit and in our hearts.

“Revelations 19:11-16”

Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:

KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS

Jules Harrell

Director of Operations & Safety

Like all rescued horses in kill pens, Jules was homeless a couple of times. She is trauma-informed and comfortable working with both violent kill pen horses and soldiers in crises. Whether you are a bullied teen or a law enforcement professional, the peace found so easily with horses is the answer to prayers.

Jules was a lonely 12 year old who found solace with her white horse, running wild and free. No bit, no shoes, no saddle. No stall for the longest time. Humans need the same feeling of freedom. Jules believes the Lord Jesus Christ is the answer to our prayers. He returns to us soon on His white horse.
