Rooted in the healing connection between humans and horses, we help people awaken to their truth and come home to themselves.
Message from the Founders
HapBE Valley was born from a deep, personal calling within both of us—a desire to help people slow down, reconnect with themselves, and live with greater intention. Our own growth journeys, including powerful experiences with Equine Facilitated Experiential Learning (EFEL), opened our eyes to what becomes possible when we create the space to listen inwardly. The work changed our lives, and we felt inspired to create a place where others could experience the same kind of clarity, healing, and authentic transformation.
In 2023, the universe offered us a beautiful opportunity. Just 10 miles outside Asheville, NC, we found a multi-generation family farm—a place filled with natural beauty, stillness, and a palpable spiritual energy. The moment we stepped onto the land, we knew this was where our vision was meant to take root.
Today, HapBE Valley is our way of welcoming individuals, couples, families, and groups into a space where you can DO less and BE more. Here, you can pause long enough to see the bigger picture, soften old patterns, reconnect with your truth, and choose a more authentic path forward.
We offer classes, workshops, and retreats that include equine interaction (no riding), as well as a variety of nature-based and experiential practices. We’re always happy to customize sessions with our horses to support personal growth, emotional well-being, and meaningful life shifts. We also collaborate with many of Asheville’s most gifted practitioners, weaving their unique offerings with ours to create deeply nourishing experiences for all who visit.
From our hearts to yours—welcome to HapBE Valley. We’re honored to share this sacred space and to walk alongside you on your journey back to yourself.

our Amazing horses
At HapBE Valley, we are deeply grateful to our beloved horses for their wisdom, empathy, and gentle spirits.
These incredible beings are more than just part of our herd; Oliver, Max, Neka and Dusty are true partners in our self-discovery programs.
Their ability to sense emotions and mirror the energies around them brings a profound depth to the equine-facilitated learning process.
With the help of our expert facilitators our horses generously share their insights, helping participants discover inner truths and foster meaningful breakthroughs.
We honor and cherish their role in guiding others toward healing and transformation.
Our Beloved Dogs
Gio and Billie, our beloved farm dogs, bring daily joy and adventure to HapBE Valley.
Gio, a spirited rescue from Puerto Rico, has enthusiastically embraced farm life. Billie, also a rescue dog, is always by our sides, riding in the UTV or looking for underground friends.
Both dogs love exploring the land, greeting guests, and embodying the playful, adventurous spirit of the farm.
Their presence adds warmth and energy to our sanctuary, reminding us daily of the simple joys and connections that make HapBE Valley so special.
Our Nigerian Dwarf Goats
Ram, Ravi, and Rumi, our trio of Nigerian Dwarf Goats, are the lively heart of HapBE Valley.
Their playful antics and curious nature bring endless entertainment and joy to the farm.
These charming goats love to explore every corner of the land, eagerly interacting with guests and making each day at the valley even more vibrant.
Whether they’re grazing in the fields or climbing on tables, these three brothers add a whirlwind of happiness here.
Our Barn Cats
Rex and Ryder, arrived in Fall of 2025 from Brother Wolf Animal Rescue. At first they were a little shy, Rex would hide every time we came to feed them. Now they are fully settled in and are as friendly as can be.
