OUR VISION
We envision to create communities where humans and horses can heal each other, uniting equine rescue and rehabilitation with therapeutic partnerships and learning collaborations using both psychotherapy and alternative holistic approaches.
"AND ONE DAY YOU REALIZE IT HAS NEVER BEEN ABOUT WHAT YOU CAN TEACH THE HORSE, BUT ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT WHAT THE HORSE TEACHES YOU."

HOW THE FARM GOT ITS NAME
The word reverie means a dream — a quiet daydream shaped by imagination,
hope, and longing.
FOREST REVERIE FARM
was named for a place that once lived
only in the heart: a vision of calm, connection, and belonging, tucked within the forest.
For a long time, this place existed as a dream — of land where the trees hold stillness, where horses move with grace and wisdom, and where time slows enough to be felt.
When that dream finally took shape, it felt like stepping into a reverie made real.
The forest that surrounds the farm is not just a backdrop, but a presence — grounding,
protective, and alive. It is the forest that was always imagined, now lovingly lived in.
The dragonfly in our logo symbolizes change, transformation, and hope.
Like the journey from dream to reality,
the dragonfly reminds us that
growth often begins quietly,
and that something once imagined can,
with patience and care, take flight.
FORGET THE WORLD OUTSIDE,
STEP INTO THE REVERIE.
MEET OUR HORSES
Our horses are not tools — they are our partners in this work.
Our horses are at the heart of Forest Reverie Farm.
Each one brings their own presence, sensitivity, and wisdom to the work we do.
Below, you’ll meet the horses who help shape the experiences and connections shared here.
BOOBAS
Nicknamed Mr Big, Waylon is the alpha of our herd. He’s been described as an ultimate truth teller, often revealing trauma roots far before anyone else can. Waylon is an extrovert, he loves connecting with new friends, his interaction level is very high, and when you look deep into his eyes you can’t help but absorb some of the hard taught wisdom held inside his brave, truly Mr Big, self. Born taller than his show breed standards, Waylon was brutally overworked when he was very young, leaving him crippled at 9 years old without corrective shoes, soft footing, anti inflammatory medications, supplements and alternative treatments like massage and chiropractic. We will never stop trying and finding new ways to keep Waylon happy, sound, and pain free so that he can live as long, comfortable and healthy a life as possible. To support Waylon directly, sponsor here.

JET
“Jet Joy” is a well known phrase around Forest Reverie Farm. A retired barrel racer, our handsome Appendix Quarter Horse owns his Thoroughbred blood with timely action and quick feet! Jet was surrendered by his owners in hopes he could bring his powerful healing prowess to others. After offering grandchildren bareback rides and new friends a gentle nose tap or two, Jet’s healing powers are magnified at Forest Reverie Farm. Jet is highly interactive and interested in everything around him. Reactions from Jet leave nothing to question, he is always expressive yet kind. Previously an equine therapy horse for mounted hippotherapy, Jet grew lame with the taxing rigors of physical therapy. Now he heals others just by being Jet, and as much as you may hesitate, he will win you over eventually! Help Jet live his best life, sponsor here.
SCOTCH
LUCA
Andalusian isn’t a breed you hear about every day; Luca isn’t like any horse you might meet every day. Sci Fi fans will appreciate his medieval soul, Andalusian’s are often featured in shows like Game of Thrones and movies like Lord of the Rings. He is our tallest herd member…by quite a lot. Standing at 17.3 hands, humans had eventing trophies and dressage championships envisioned for Luca’s future, but after a suspensory ligament injury at just 7 years old, his future career options were dismally limited. Finding his true home, the healing work at Forest Reverie Farm, Luca has come into his own. As sensitive a soul one could ever hope to find, even small interactions with Luca hold great meaning. Intentional and thoughtful, Luca offers ultimate serenity while digging deep into the past. If you would like to personally support Luca, please sponsor here.
