About Us

---

Founder, Todd Azevedo (career horseman) and his family have generations of knowledge from the Equine Industry. His passion is to educate students about the history and the influences on the modern day horse, while sharing the joy and excitement of a ranching life. 

"I am a creator of physical places where people and animals can feel safe unconditionally. 

Cutting through surface appearances to what truly matters to man and beast; a complete understanding of who they are and want to be."

Founder,  Darlene Azevedo has combined her talents of horsemanship, together with her knowledge of PLAY & Nutrition.  Darlene has worked with Stuart Brown, founder of the National Institute for Play (www.nifplay.org) for 15 years.  Horseplay Youth will be educating children and teachers of the importance of play by discovering their own play images through equine companionship.  "What makes me tick is to assist humans and animals to a higher vibration, helping them see the endless possibilities.  I believe one tiny discovery of the human heart can change a course of a life."

"I am happiest helping others be happy. I find the good news in the bad news.  I love to inspire."

"I am a voice for those who have not found theirs."
