My daughter and I went to Oak Hollow Acres for an hour long goat therapy session. We had the best…read moretime. The goats were not aggressive and just wanted to be loved. Got to hold and cuddle the baby goats and pet the bigger ones. It was definitely therapy. One little goat climbed on my back and was very comfortable there, so we had a lot of laughs also. The host and his daughter were very welcoming. In addition to goats on the farm are free-roaming chickens and turkeys. There was also a donkey and a couple of horses. It was clear these animals are well loved and enjoy human interaction. Would recommend to any animal lover.

Our two Golden Retrievers LOVE this place and so do we! I can't even drive by when it's not "their…read moreday" because they will whine and cry and they can't wait to get out of the car when we arrive! Those GR tails start going a mile a minute. It's very reassuring to know that they enjoy being there! They participate weekly in day camp and swimming with trainer Laura (their absolute favorite activity with one of their favorite humans). Our 5 year old does therapy swim sessions for a CCL injury (it's made a world of difference) and our 1 year old swims for fun and much needed exercise. We've also utilized their night camp and training and feel they are always loved and well cared for. They are groomed by Hailey and they always look and smell so nice! Highly recommend!

I was at their indoor studio 2 weeks in a row. 1st is for Puppy Yoga and 2nd is for Goat Yoga. It…read morewas so much fun! I dont really do yoga coz it kinda messes up my knees which ia weird right i know! Anyway, being wifh the animals is such a stress relief and so good for my mental health. I did the Puppy Yoga alone and some friends joined me for Goat Yoga. Everyone was great and they even offer to take pictures for you! Ita 30 mins of yoga and 30 mins of playtime. I think if you havent tried this, you should at least once! I definitely wanna try the outdoor one and the Hiking with the goats next! Happy Exercising!

So far, I have only tried puppy yoga here. It was a fun class, and the instructor did her best to…read moregive us directions on poses despite the little puppies running around and occasionally barking. But that was the point, right? I didn't think it was fair that one couple seemed to have treats on their towels, so many of the puppies kept going over there. However, the staff and volunteers from Second City Canine Rescue did their best to distribute the puppies so everyone could get equal play. The class time was 30 minutes of yoga and 30 minutes of puppy play. The only suggestion I would have is that perhaps they discourage people from bringing their own treats so more people get to play with the puppies. Maybe it's just me, but I just thought that was a selfish move anyway, to try and get the puppies to stay by one area. If you are looking to relax and enjoy yoga and puppy time, this is definitely a unique experience.

There are not enough positive adjectives in any dictionary to describe Bravehearts. This fact…read moremakes this the most difficult review that I've ever written- in a good, no, GREAT way! At the same time I don't want to ruin the wonder and awe you experience when your tires hit the gravel laden entrance on your way in for the first time. Settled in a serene location, this haven for horse and human hero alike is bustling with opportunity. Whether you are a militar veteran or a veteran life-liver, there is a place for you at Bravehearts. If you are feeling a tug on your heart,I encourage you to make a call, or send an email and set up a time to meet with them. As for the staff, there isn't one who I have met that isn't 1000% committed to their job. From the newly minted barn manager, to the directors, and beyond- I have not met a soul who doesn't positively burn with passion for human and horse alike. This is a place where healing begins and takes off!
