About the Founder
Lisa Bravo.
A life devoted to the herd.
Lisa's life has been shaped by horses from the very beginning. The connection she found with them as a child became the connection that carried her through every season of her own healing — and ultimately into the calling of building a sanctuary.
Epona's Wing is the embodiment of a lifelong vow: that every horse she could reach would be met with the safety, dignity, and freedom she once received from a horse who loved her without condition.
A childhood with horses
The pasture was Lisa's first sanctuary. Long before she had language for what regulation was, the horses gave it to her — wordlessly, daily.
A lifelong healing journey
Through every transition of adulthood, the herd remained her teachers. She learned that trauma-informed presence is not a method — it is a way of standing beside another being.
The sanctuary vision
Epona's Wing is the long arc of that learning. A place where rescued horses are received with the same softness Lisa once received from them — and where humans, too, are welcomed back into their own bodies.
"The horses returned freedom to me. Together, we return it to them."
