Join us for a heartfelt evening at the historic Sheridan Opera House as Grace Reins Equine Therapy & Wild Horse Rescue presents a special screening of Rescued Hearts — a powerful documentary that beautifully captures the life-changing connection between humans and horses.
Inspired by the remarkable story of a young boy diagnosed with autism who spoke his first words while connecting with a horse, Rescued Hearts dives into the unseen, soul-deep bond we share with these magnificent animals. Through personal stories, expert insights, and moving testimony, this film reminds us that healing is never one-sided — and that the relationships we form with animals have the power to transform both human and horse alike.
This gathering is more than a film screening. It’s a chance to come together as a community, spread awareness about the urgent need for wild horse rescue, and raise critical funds to support the healing work of Grace Reins.
Come be part of the story — for the horses, for the people, and for the heart of Telluride.

Inspired by a life-changing moment—when a 7-year-old boy diagnosed with autism spoke his first words while interacting with a horse—filmmakers Dana Croschere and Krisanna Sexton set out to uncover the deeper meaning behind this extraordinary bond. Through deeply moving personal stories, expert insights, and research, Rescued Hearts explores how horses serve as catalysts for healing and transformation, helping us open our hearts and reconnect with our authentic selves.
The film not only highlights lives forever changed through these experiences but also reveals a profound truth: healing is never one-sided.
Rescued Hearts isn’t just the story of horses—it’s the story of all of us, offering an invitation for deeper connection with ourselves, each other, and all of nature.
