Happy Hooves Collective was created from a deep love for animals and the belief that they bring a kind of joy and healing that nothing else can. They ground us. They soften us. They remind us what it feels like to slow down and truly connect. That’s why this happy hooves herd exists, to share the quiet magic our animals bring to everyday life with the people who need it most.

For founder Jenna Hallman, animals have always been the heartbeat of her world. From attending equestrian college to spending years caring for horses, goats, cats, cattle, dogs, and just about every barn creature you can imagine, she has seen time and time again how animals transform people. Working for others taught her so much, but it also revealed the limits placed on her dreams, and it became clear it was time to step into something of her own.

And this is only the beginning.
One day, Jenna hopes to grow Happy Hooves Collective into a sanctuary for animals who deserve a second chance, a ranch where cats, dogs, goats, cows, donkeys, and horses can all have a safe place to live, heal, and find their purpose. A place where rescued animals get a new chapter, and where their presence can touch the lives of children, women, husbands, fathers, and anyone who needs the kind of connection only animals can offer.

The bigger dream is a ranch of her own, a space where people can get married, stay for a week, volunteer, breathe, reconnect, and experience the kind of peace that comes from being surrounded by animals who love without conditions. We know where we’re going, even if the roadmap is still being written, and every step counts.

Happy Hooves started with Buttercup, a sweet Belgian draft horse with a heart as big as she is. Jenna always knew she was special, but every day Buttercup proves it more and more. Her gentle spirit and love for people became the spark that lit everything this collective is becoming. From there, the vision grew and so did the herd. Our three goats bring warmth, laughter, and just enough mischief to brighten anyone’s day, while each animal adds their own charm, softness, and personality to every moment they’re part of.

Where we are starting is simple: creating unforgettable, joy-filled moments for your birthday parties, weddings, senior photos, corporate events, retreats, and even parking guidance for your guests. Whatever magic your celebration needs, the Happy Hooves herd is ready to bring it to life.

From our hearts to yours, thank you for being part of the very beginning of this dream. The best is still ahead.
