Meet CHANEL!

Chanel is the Queen and Sweetheart of Healing with Horses Louisiana! She is a 10 year old Thoroughbred retired, racehorse, and is full of glam and personality! Sadly, Chanel was horribly injured in her first and only race at the New Orleans Fairgrounds and was going to be euthanized due to her injuries. Her owner insisted we give her a chance and take her as a part of our program to rehabilitate her if possible. It was a very long journey of two years of healing, but she made a full recovery and now is one of the most delightful therapy horses we have! 

*If you would like to learn more about Chanel and sponsoring her monthly, please visit our “Book Now,” and go to, “Sponsor A Superhero!” to donate regularly! Also, make a visit to our farm to meet her in person! She will charm you with her beauty and her class and fill your heart with joy!

Every day I would do a little more to earn her trust. She would explode and panic causing much fear in every part of her attempted recovery. 

One month went by and I was finally ready to let her out of her stall, even to go just a few feet. Day after day, we would walk a little further. 

Eventually, we made it out of the barn. That was a win! 

I continued to rehab her for almost two years. Long story short, she made a full recovery! 

This amazing girl has gone on to be ridden and recently debuted in her very first Dressage show with many more to come! Chanel is truly, our little Princess! 

She is a beautiful asset to our program, sharing her sweetness and love of being an incredibly special, therapy horse! 

She is always shining bright and putting smiles on all our client’s faces!
