Hope View Haven

09/02/2026

So many of our HVH friends are back to school this week and next! We cannot wait to see you all soon! HVH has not only continued some of our existing partnerships, but have also added another site within Capital School District and will be on the road 4 days a week this year!

Our minis will be cruising to schools in Kent and Sussex counties, so we are seeking corporate sponsors to keep our van in tip-top shape. We are especially in need of new tires at the moment. Reach out if you know a local business who would like to help us out with an in kind donation or discount! Donations of $500 or more will get a corporate sponsor ad with their logo on our van!

As students advance through our programming, they continue to build resilience, but also get some other essential skills…all while also benefiting from the joy of working with horses.

We see this over and over again in our work with youth. It is so exciting to see our work supported by scientific research!

Hope View Haven’s partnerships with schools and residential settings, particularly our mobile services, help our youth maximize their instructional time and helps those who work with our youth to see and reinforce all the social emotional learning the youth do with their horse partners the rest of the week. This increases the likelihood of the generalization of those skills to other settings and can maximize positive outcomes for our kids!

Background Amid the youth mental health crisis, schools are uniquely positioned to help build social-emotional competencies in students, which may protect again...

We are so excited to announce that Daisy is an officially official member of the HVH herd! We spent the last 90 days exposing her to all sorts of new experiences and challenges, to which she replied, “Was this supposed to be scary or overwhelming? This is fun!”

We are so grateful to Winbak Farm for the donation of Daisy, who now gets to spend her days helping youth find hope through horses and annoying her half-brother, Blue, in the ways only a little sister can. 😉

Daisy and Blue are here to see their friends at KCCS today! Super grateful the forecasted storms decided to wait until later and that we got to take the minis for their first longer trip in our “Mini” Van. All of our trips so far have been closer to home, but we will be making the trip to Dover twice a week starting this fall.

We have a business sponsorship program that allows us to keep our rig on the road, and gives the business a space to put their logo and contact info on our sweet “Mini”Van as thanks for sponsoring our program. Message us for details if you have or know of a business who wants to sponsor our ride!!!

We get to work with our students at a local juvenile detention center twice this week and our entire 90 minute session today was spent inside because we anticipated storms.

After discussing trauma and the brain and how growth mindset ties in to that, our advanced kids got to utilize these amazing tools from as we work on learning some essential equine knowledge that will be useful if they seek employment on a farm when they get home. Before today they would have likely given their boss the Gen Z stare if asked to bring the chestnut quarter horse mare with a blaze and a scar on her pattern in from the pasture. But not anymore! 😎

And now for Daisy! She is the smallest and newest on our team who has spent the last few months in training to be an HVH herd member and has approached each new task with a calm and inquisitive attitude, just as we had hoped.
