OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS
LISA FARA —President and Founder-A non profit strategist advocating for the humane treatment, rescue, and safe haven practices for horses in abused conditions.
Hello there and welcome to my world of horses! In 2016 I had a personal experience of saving a Friesian named Hunter who changed my life. He had been abandoned by his owner and he altered the course of my life forever. Healing, advocacy, and wellness are my focal points. I thrive in creating a world of love through the beauty of horses with telling the stories of horses in need through Equine Fine Art Photography.
