Every Horse Has a Home Here—Forever 🐴❤️

At The Equine Healing Collaborative, we don’t just rescue horses—we give them a forever home. Each horse who comes to us becomes part of our herd for life. They are never rehomed or sold.

Many arrived here after hardship, neglect, or abandonment. Now, they spend their days grazing freely, connecting with humans through psychotherapy, and helping others heal from their own pain.

Our rescued horses give back every single day—and in return, we give them safety, love, and permanence.

We’re excited to share that The Equine Healing Collaborative is actively working on becoming an in-network provider with the VA. Our goal is simple: make equine-assisted psychotherapy and outdoor healing accessible to the veterans in our community who deserve it most.

Our rescued horses, open spaces, and trauma-informed clinicians offer a calm and powerful environment for veterans to reconnect, rebuild, and feel supported. Getting in network with the VA will help us remove barriers to care and welcome even more veterans into this work.

At The Equine Healing Collaborative, caring for our animals isn’t just part of our work – it’s the heart of it. Every day we show up for our horses, minis, goats, pigs, and all the beings who call this land home. We feed them, groom them, learn their personalities, and honor their boundaries.

And in the quietest, most powerful way, they show up for us too.
Horses have an incredible capacity to reciprocate care — not through words, but through presence. When clients step into psychotherapy sessions with them, the horses respond to calm, authenticity, and genuine emotion. They mirror what’s happening inside us and offer a steady, grounded connection that helps people feel seen and safe.

Caring for them allows them to care for our clients.
It’s a relationship built on trust, respect, and shared healing.

Every session, every breath, every moment in the pasture is a reminder that healing happens in relationship — human to horse, horse to human.

Mini Horses, Big Feelings 🐴💛

Big hearts come in small packages. Our Mini Horses, Big Feelings program brings gentle, pint-sized horses into schools to help kids talk about mental health in a way that feels safe, fun, and real.

Students learn how to name their emotions, how to ask for help, and—most importantly—that they are never alone. Through mindfulness and connection with our minis, kids discover that even small moments of courage can make a big difference.

Because sometimes, it takes a mini horse to teach us about big feelings.

Today we welcome first responders to the ranch for a day of reconnection, restoration, and real support.

Serving those who serve our communities is an honor. The work you do takes a toll that most will never see. Out here, surrounded by open space and horses who meet you without judgment or expectation, there is room to breathe again.

Horses feel our energy and respond with presence, strength, and truth. They remind us what it feels like to come home to ourselves.

To every firefighter, EMT, paramedic, law enforcement officer, dispatcher, and frontline responder who joins us today, thank you. You show up for everyone else. Today, we show up for you.

We are grateful to walk beside you

Horses have a remarkable capacity for what we call objective witnessing.

Objective witnessing means being fully present with someone and holding space without judgment, agenda, or expectation. It is the ability to see and sense another’s emotional reality while staying neutral and grounded.

This is what horses do so naturally. They notice us. They feel our nervous system. They respond in real time with honesty and clarity, never trying to fix us or tell us who to be.

In that quiet presence we feel seen, not evaluated. Safe, not shaped.
And often for the first time we can tune into our own truth with compassion.

This is why working with horses inside psychotherapy is so powerful. Their presence invites us to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with what is real within us.

At The Equine Healing Collaborative, we witness these moments every day. Humans finding their way back to themselves with a horse standing quietly beside them.

Come meet our herd and experience what it feels like to be truly seen.

Horses don’t just tolerate us, they seek connection.
They read our breath, our posture, our emotions.
They walk toward us not because they must, but because something in them knows we belong together.

As Jon Eagle Sr. reminds us,
“Horses want to be part of our lives.”

At The Equine Healing Collaborative, we honor that invitation.
Every day, we are humbled by the way our herd chooses us —
and chooses to walk alongside the people who come here to heal, grow, and breathe again.

🧠💫 Psychotherapy with horses is not about control — it’s about relationship, attunement, and mutual respect.
When we show up with presence and compassion, they meet us there.

Come experience what it feels like to be truly seen by a horse. 🤍
