Out Side In, Inc.

Non-profit mental health facility, equine assisted psychotherapy and Thoroughbred aftercare. Who are we? We take most insurances including Medicaid.

Out Side In is both an outpatient mental health treatment facility and a functioning horse farm that specializes in rescuing off-track thoroughbred race horses. Utilizing Equine Assisted Psychotherapy our licensed therapists treat a wide variety of emotional, behavioral, and mental health issues. We bring therapy outside of the four walls of a typical therapist’s office and utilizing “strengths perspective” methodology, the therapists and the horses help clients to learn to cope with life’s difficulties in a non-traditional environment. Equine Assisted Psychotherapy utilizes horses as a tool and a catalyst for not just reaching the clients, but as a mirror into one’s own emotions. Horses are emotional creatures and can often sense what we are feeling before we can. As the client participates in structured activities both on horseback and on the ground, they develop the ability to recognize their issues and find the strength to face those issues head on. EAP has been proven to be effective in treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, RAD, ODD, and ADHD, just to name a few. We have been rescuing thoroughbred racehorse right off of the racetrack for a few years now. What is special about our program is that it is our clients who help us to rehabilitate, restore, retrain and eventually rehome our rescued horses. The two missions of our facility, the therapy component and the horse rescue component weave together to form something unique and very special
As a non-profit agency, we rely heavily on the donations of empathetic and generous people like you to continue to provide services to all, regardless of ability to pay. Please visit our website at outsideinstables.com or click on the donation button above to support what is truly an amazing and worthy cause. We also offer sponsorship opportunities where you can sponsor one of our rescued horses or one of our veterans. More information about these opportunities can be found on our webpage.

Here we are again on Thoroughbred Thursday educating our community about how amazing OTTBs can be! Our wonderful Mambo helped the kids from Grand Haven High School's XP program learn about the experience of Equine Assisted Psychotherapy and retraining of OTTBs for a life outside the racetrack!

Thank you Threadgill from GHHS for putting it together!

We want to send a huge thank you to Michelle Rzanca from CCI / CCInvest!

Michelle generously volunteered her time with Out Side In in Grand Haven, and because of her service, her company will be making a donation to support our nonprofit and the work we do in the community.

Acts like this show how powerful community partnerships can be. When people choose to give their time and companies choose to support that effort, it creates real impact for the youth and families we serve.

Michelle, we truly appreciate your willingness to step up and support our mission. Thank you for helping make a difference!

Happy Thoroughbred Thursday! Out Side In was so happy to host Grand Haven High School's Pay It Forward class again this semester to teach them about equine assisted psychotherapy and utilizing off the track thoroughbreds for our services! One of our all time favorite OTTB's Maggie was the perfect example for one of our therapy activities!

💗It's February, show yourself a little love! 💗

Caring for yourself is essential. As winter lingers, many people feel more tired, isolated, or overwhelmed, and February is often a time when mental health needs extra attention.

Taking time to care for your emotional well-being is one of the most meaningful ways to practice self-love. Whether that means reaching out for support, creating space to reconnect, or starting therapy, you deserve care and compassion. Remember, you don’t have to do it alone.

Happy Holidays from Out Side In!

As winter approaches and stress levels rise, you may be looking for a meaningful and effective way to heal, grow, and reconnect with yourself. Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) offers a unique, research-supported approach to mental health treatment that fosters insight, trust, and self-awareness.

Working with horses in a therapeutic setting provides powerful, real-time feedback. Horses are highly attuned to human emotions, helping clients safely explore and process trauma, anxiety, and other emotional challenges in a supportive environment.

Equine Assisted Psychotherapy may be the next step in your mental health journey.
Out Side In accepts most insurance plans for individual outpatient mental health services. No referral is required. Simply complete the referral form at www.outsideintherapy.com/contact, and our team will reach out to schedule your appointment.

For questions, please call (616) 844-0906.

Jersey is settling in great at Out Side In! OTTBs sure have a way of warming spirits on these cold winter days! ❤🐴❄️

12/04/2025

Happy !!! Out Side In had the wonderful opportunity to take several of our OTTBs, (and a couple of their friends) to our beautiful Lakeshore for a fantastic ride with our talented staff. It was an amazing experience to share with the OSI horses!

Our OTTBs are always eager to embrace new experiences, continuing their journey of growth and adaptability far beyond the track.

We are so happy that we had this opportunity to bond and give both our staff and our horses time away from the farm to bring them a little fun and energy to help them keep loving the great work they do every day!

12/02/2025

Out Side In was very thankful over this thanksgiving break to welcome a new OTTB to the family! Meet Jersey (AKA Jersey Princess) a 9 year old mare who was just too slow for a life on the race track but will make an amazing therapy horse!
