Horses have been used as healing therapy since ancient times. The beauty and spirit of these animals is very much like our own: rough, strong, ready to run great lengths for freedom, however calm and peaceful inside. Through this therapy we will find a sense of peace, love, friendship, trust, and unity with our animal companion.

We offer Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) and Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP). This will be done in individual and group sessions working with horses in the arena doing ground work activities. Sessions will include grooming, feeding, group circle time in arena with horse interaction throughout, obstacle courses, herd study, one-on-one time with a mental health professional, and a certified Eagala equine specialist.

Individual therapy addresses personal struggles and we work to identify PTS and other disorders. Our therapists use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which challenges the distorted thoughts and work to replace them with healthy thoughts.

Group therapy is most common and allows our clients to bond, reconnect, find comaraderie, and manage emotions. In group, most clients come to work thru PTS, combat trauma stress, addiction, suicide idealization and sexual trauma.We will participate in activities such as interacting with horses, nature walking, fishing, camp fire sessions, outdoor cooking, art, and herd study.

As you walk this journey with PTS trained professionals and fellow warriors you will find yourself building strong relationships, healing and restoring your sense of self, finding purpose and shaping to become the best version of yourself.

Trauma affects everyone in its path. It is vital that we understand that this state of mind is only temporary. By learning to embrace each other’s needs thru grace, patience and forgiveness, we can bring back the peace, love and spark that you once had within your relationship.

Sessions can be booked for couple time in the arena with the horses to do team building activities. Some may opt to work in private in the arena with horses and some may choose to work with a mental health specialist to mediate and talk thru what’s present, creating struggle. I like to call it “root cause analysis & risk mitigation”. We find many times things can be worked thru if two people are willing to put in the effort. Activities are created to work together to fulfill a task with the horses, overcome obstacles, work thru past hurts, find forgiveness, own and carry your cross/actions, with the ability in the end to reconnect, laugh and find the bond that brought you together in the beginning.

Our Youth Program incorporates fun filled options for your child to make memories that will last for a lifetime. We make time for outdoor fun, painting with the horses, art creation, healing moments with Jesus’ teaching, self-development modalities, horsemanship skills, athletic obstacles for team building engagement, and more.

We refer to “POP” as “the Power of the Pause”. We allow you space and time to reflect, be still and just breathe. Become present and connect with our Equines and release the heaviness you carry each day.

Our minds and bodies tend to get away from us at times. In order to regain control and find inner peace, we must enter a state of relaxation. The quiet and stillness is critical for our mind, body and soul to align. Are we really out of control, or do we just FEEL like it?

Whether its with the horses, art, herd study, or laying in a hammock just swinging while overlooking the stock tanks and watching the horses graze, this form of peace and stillness is imbedded to allow you the opportunity to step back from daily life and take a breathe. We are the only one in control of our thoughts and feelings. It is up to us to maintain a healthy body and sound mind. Happiness is a choice, it’s not something that just happens by chance. With a little restoration and polish, you can feel brand new if you’re willing to put in the work. Take the step to chance vulnerability and transparency.

It will allow you to sit down the grief and shame so you can disassemble it and leave it behind once and for all. Where there is hurt and pain, Joy cannot reside. Yet, without struggle there’s no growth, so to become the best version of yourself you must go under the fire and the water to sharpen, bend, hammer and mold you into the person you were created to be. Think about it this way, you’ve come thru the fire and you’re still standing. You’re half way there! It’s too late to quit now. And quitting is not an option for you anyhow. So let’s get to work because life is too short, and the finish line is just up ahead.
