In the heart of Texas, where the open skies stretch endlessly, Donna Stedman envisions a sanctuary where horses and humans can heal together. Her love for horses and people inspires the creation of Henry’s Home, Horse, and Human Sanctuary. Donna is driven to establish a refuge where rescued horses find peace and where humans, burdened by life’s challenges, can seek solace alongside these noble creatures.
The early days of Henry’s Home are filled with hurdles. Donna faces financial challenges, the daunting task of acquiring land, and the need to build a community of supporters. With determination as vast as the Texan plains, she brought together a community of volunteers and established partnerships with local businesses.
As of May 2024, Donna decided to step back, allowing new leaders to carry her legacy. Her retirement marks the beginning of transformative changes at Henry’s Home. Renovations are underway, enhancing facilities to accommodate the growing number of Veterans and Retired First Responders programs. The buildings expanded, pastures improved, and new therapeutic spaces for horses and our heroes are being constructed, breathing new life into the sanctuary.
Innovative programs are taking root, catering to the diverse needs of the sanctuary’s guests. Equine-assisted learning sessions become a cornerstone of Henry’s Home, drawing Veterans and Retired First Responders seeking healing and personal growth. Special sessions invite participants to connect deeply with the horses, fostering empathy and understanding in a world often in short supply.
These ongoing changes amplify Henry’s Home’s impact on local and extended communities, becoming a beacon of hope and healing. Donna’s vision lives on through the passionate efforts of those who follow in her footsteps. As the sanctuary flourishes, Donna watches with pride, knowing her dream is growing into something even more beautiful than she imagined. Henry’s Home continues evolving, a legacy of compassion and transformation.
