Before the herd, before the foundation, before the Magical Park — there was Jennifer.
Jennifer was the very first horse at Healing with Horses. Rescued from the rainforest and brought to Buccoo by Veronika and Lennon La Fortune in 2007, she was the single heartbeat around which an entire dream was built. One horse, one vision, and a handful of children — that was how it all began.
Jennifer was not just the first member of the herd. She was the proof that this was possible. That a rescued horse, given freedom, love and space, could offer something extraordinary to the children and families who came to meet her. She carried the very first riders into the ocean. She welcomed the very first campers through the gate. She was, in every sense, the founding spirit of what Healing with Horses would become.
Everything you see at the Magical Park today — the herd, the therapy sessions, the summer camps, the sensory path, the treehouse, the rainbow fence, the 200 children a year whose lives are changed by this place — all of it traces back to a horse named Jennifer, and to the two people who believed in her enough to begin.
She may no longer be with us, but her spirit lives in every horse that has joined the herd since, and in every child who has walked through the gate and found their courage, their calm, and their belonging here.
Jennifer. The one who started it all.

A Jamaican born colt, 22nd February 2012- he was the black Stallion of the herd. “City of Gold” is enjoying his new way of life here in Tobago. He loved meeting his herd at the bay, taking a good roll in the warm beach sand and calling out the horses from grazing at the Golden Grove Estate.

"All came in our community for a reason. Each animal guided us - with their wisdom and spirit, this is how being & healing with horses organically unfolded and grew into this magical place . By simply embracing them with an open heart , learning to listen to their stories, their desires and longings, we became who we are today: the “Healing Haven”. Each soul has a purpose 🤍 we honor and deeply value their time with us. It is indeed our responsibility to remember and care for all who passed over the rainbow bridge.🌈 Many previous students and guests are visiting the cemetery regularly at the cliff top outside the magical park."
