Every experience leaves a trace in how we show up physically. Horses pick up on these cues because, as prey animals, it's part of how they navigate their world.

When guided by trained professionals, this awareness becomes a powerful tool for reflection and growth. Horses For Mental Health highlights this work so more people can find care that feels grounded and real.

Morning Mantra: "The vacation we often need is a break from our own mind."

I don't know about you, but I need a break.
From worrying about my business.
From concern for my family.
From the stress of the condition of our planet.
From politically induced hyper-concern for marginalized people.

It's getting to me.

But I also know I am in charge of my feelings.
I can take a break- or 20- and reduce the stress and worry.
I can recharge in nature or at the barn.
I can reconnect with my breath through meditation.
I can Facetime, write love letters, and send care packages.
I can flip the thought patterns that control my emotions from negative to positive.
When there is nothing I can do to change the outside world, I turn to controlling what's inside of me.

1 in 10 men experience depression or anxiety, and less than half ever get help. (ADAA)

For many men, it’s not because they don’t want to, it’s because of stigma and the societal expectations to push through and stay strong. Talking about what’s really going on can feel impossible when you’ve spent years being told not to feel at all.

That’s where horses can make an impact.

Horses don’t hold the biases that are common with humans, which creates a safe space. This non-judgmental experience provides an opportunity for healing past traumas and provides present-moment connection. Studies show equine-assisted services can reduce symptoms of anxiety, PTSD, and depression by helping people reconnect to their emotions and rebuild trust (American Psychological Association, 2023; National Library of Medicine, 2022).

This , let’s change the conversation around men's mental health.

“When we are tired, we are attacked by ideas we conquered long ago.”
~ Friedrich Nietzsche

This applies also to times when we're: Emotionally triggered; in pain; having symptoms; relapsing into old habits, patterns or addictions; depressed; anxious or fearful.

Therefore, to aid our healing it's vital to prioritise time for sufficient rest, sleep, downtime and real relaxation.

Basic needs first, then everything else will follow with much more ease...
