Who We Are

Hearts of Steele Equine Facilitated Learning (EFL) is a Mississippi-based organization committed to improving mental, physical, and emotional wellness through meaningful interaction with horses.

We serve children, teens, adults, and individuals with special needs, including those affected by trauma or foster care experiences, by providing safe, supportive, and engaging experiences that build confidence, life skills, and a sense of belonging.

Our programs meet people where they are and create opportunities for them to learn, grow, and discover their strengths — both on and off the horse.

THE HEART BEHIND OUR WORK

Our Why

We have seen firsthand how horses can break down barriers, build trust, and open doors to new possibilities.

Whether it’s a child finding their voice, a teen learning responsibility, or an adult building confidence again — the impact is real and lasting.

Horses have a unique ability to meet people without judgment. They respond to our energy, honesty, and effort, teaching valuable lessons about communication, patience, and self-awareness.

“Horses don’t just teach skills — they reveal strengths.”
EXPERIENCE & COMMUNITY

We have worked with individuals with special needs, youth affected by trauma or foster care experiences, schools, and community organizations to create programs that are engaging, impactful, and inclusive.

From local camps and workshops to collaborations with schools and organizations such as Special Olympics, our work continues to grow as we build partnerships and expand opportunities for those we serve.
