About the Farm

Second Chances is a privately run program established in 2021 with the undying dedication of volunteers who love equines and the great outdoors. At SXC we believe in diverse methods for healing hearts, minds, bodies, and souls. Tully's dream of SXC became a reality with the support and encouragement from the Wilson and Dimartino families. Through these amazing individuals, we were gifted the use of the land and blessed with the materials required to build our first pasture and round pen.

"A special thank you to Bambi, Pennie, Dean and Wanda for believing in me and with me!" Tully

A New Home

Whatever the reason, our horses have come to us in need of a new home. They are given a new beginning by living as a herd in our open pastures and engaging in learning activities with our clients. Our volunteers generously give of their hearts and time to help these beautiful beings transition and adjust.

Several of our horses have found their "forever" person and continue to reside with us.

Connections

Horses and humans have a lot in common and can learn from each other. Like mirrors, they are highly instinctive and intuitive animals, reflecting and aiding in a person's emotional status. This connection can help reduce stress, anxiety, depression and provide a new perspective on life. From helping with feeding the herd once a week, to being a horse leader or side walker during a lesson, we all become connected and feel part of a community and family.

Join the Cause

Whatever your comfort or skill level is with horses, you can help! No experience is necessary. Our volunteers will offer their guidance and encouragement to help you achieve your own personal goals. You can take the first step by coming to visit.
