TenderHearts began with a simple promise: if compassion leads, craft can carry the message. What started as a small rescue effort for at‑risk horses soon became a sanctuary and a workshop, where every handcrafted buckle and necklace helps fund real care—feed, safe shelter, and veterinary treatment.

The first horses arrived wary and underweight. With time, steady hands, and community support, they learned to trust again. That transformation shaped the design language: sturdy, western‑inspired pieces that honor endurance and open‑range spirit, made to be worn every day and to remind the wearer that recovery is possible.

How the work is done

Artisans build each piece one by one, combining locally made components with select materials from trusted suppliers to ensure durability and fair pricing. The shop funds the sanctuary, and the sanctuary guides the shop—closing the loop between purpose and product.

Impact that can be measured

Support makes direct outcomes possible: horses brought in from neglect, rehabilitated through consistent care, and placed in suitable homes or given a lifelong place at the sanctuary. Every sale contributes to this pipeline of rescue, recovery, and responsible rehoming.
