Our Founder's Story
At Dawn Haven Ranch, we believe in the healing power of horses. Our founder, Heidi LeBeau, a Certified Equine Specialist in Mental Health & Learning, ESMHL, CDMS, PMP, MBA, discovered her own peace and joy through these magnificent animals. Growing up on a ranch, she learned invaluable life lessons, and her love for horses became her guiding light.
