Welcome to
The Blue Heron Ranch
Our Mission
BHR is a 501 (c) 3 Nonprofit Organization.
The mission of The Blue Heron Ranch (BHR) is to preserve and protect lands that serve as nature/horse sanctuaries. On these lands we seek to establish teaching communities of land stewards to provide programs for personal wellness utilizing equestrian and nature-based therapies. We offer self-sufficient life skills training for living in harmony with Mother Nature.
Slim Pickens is now deceased but he will always be our BHR Ranch Manager In Memorium.

What We Do
BHR owns and operates a 29-acre nature/horse sanctuary in Cloudland, Georgia where we provide a lifetime home for our horses, many of whom are geriatric. In addition to caring for horses, BHR cares for the environment. Our nature sanctuary is open Monday - Friday from 11:00am - 5:00pm Central time. We welcome visitors wanting a quiet walk in nature or time for meditation away from the roar of the world. Visitors also may participate in caring for the sanctuary's herd of horses.
After thousands of years of patriarchy, we believe it is important to balance the yin/yang energies in the world by working with all persons to empower the Divine Feminine energy within them. As we heal ourselves, we heal GAIA.
The BHR horse barn was built in 2021 by all-women volunteer work crews who gathered together from across America during several BHR Volunteer Work Weeks. They came in response to our call for help with construction. We could not have afforded to build the barn so quickly or so beautifully without them. They will never be forgotten.
