About Us
Meet The Founders
We created Braveheart Farm as a vision from our daughter Victoria, to have a place to ride horses and feel the happiness and calm they bring. This dream grew into a place where these beautiful horses help teach confidence, resilience, build
self-esteem, conquer anxiety, and feel empowered to achieve anything.
Our ability to participate in Palm Beach County Horseman's Association events with some of our students is a testament to the fact that Victoria plays an important role as a peer mentor. She continues to build her leadership skills solidifying a definite future in this career.
We are blessed to build this and see it play a role in young lives. As a neuropsychologist and brain health expert there is no better sign for healthy and happy brains! It is a powerful experience to witness them conquer fears and learn to move forward with belief in themselves.
