Testimonials

Thank you so much! :)

Hi April,

I just wanted to thank you so much for the Heart of a Horse shirts! They are so nice! What an amazingly sweet thing to do! I love them.

I am also so glad to be a fan of Heart of a Horse on facebook and to see all the work you are doing to help abused horses. I hope that God will bless you in your work. You are truly a beautiful person and you are changing so many lives, not only of the animals you rescue, but also raising awareness of the horrible reality some of them live. Thanks so much April!

Have a great day!
