Located in Mid Coast Maine, we are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to improving literacy through equine-assisted learning, art, and yoga. Our mission is to create pathways for connection, growth, and understanding. We advance education across the lifespan by designing learning experiences that foster connection, growth, and understanding.
May you experience grace filled days of unconditional love, unwavering kindness, and unbridled peace.
There's a Place for You Here
At Unbridled Peace, we believe that meaningful connections have the power to change lives.
Every person who visits our farm arrives with their own story. Some come to build confidence as readers. Some come to create meaningful moments with a loved one. Others come seeking connection, community, or simply a peaceful place to belong.
Wherever you are on your journey, you'll find a welcoming space here. Through literacy programs, memory care experiences, and community gatherings, we strive to meet people where they are, celebrate who they are, and support who they are becoming.
Rooted in kindness, compassion, and the healing presence of horses and nature, our programs bring people together, nurture growth, and create moments that matter.
