Healing with Horses Ranch provides a safe, trauma-informed environment where horses help people heal. The impact of our work extends far beyond the arena. Each year, over 220 participants—youth, veterans, first responders, and individuals with disabilities—gain tools to manage anxiety, build self-confidence, strengthen relationships, and restore hope.
Our Equine-Assisted Counseling program, in particular, addresses urgent community needs. For youth who have endured abuse, neglect, or school violence, it provides healthy coping strategies and emotional regulation skills. For first responders and families impacted by natural disasters, it offers space to process trauma and regain stability. In both cases, participants leave with a deeper sense of resilience, connection, and empowerment.
By subsidizing services, we ensure that no one is turned away due to financial hardship. In 2025 , Healing with Horses Ranch discounted more than $170,000 in services to make equine-assisted programs accessible. This investment in people directly strengthens the fabric of our community—helping individuals thrive at home, in school, and in the workplace.
At Healing with Horses Ranch, the horse is at the heart of everything we do. Our equines are the true teachers in programs that include: – Adaptive Riding to support physical, cognitive, and emotional growth – Equine-Assisted Learning (EAL) to build life skills and resilience – Equine-Assisted Counseling (EAC) to address trauma and mental health needs
“We have been in individual therapy, family therapy, Intensive Group Therapy, tried various medications, behavioral modifications, lifestyle changes, nutritional changes, exercise regimes – you name it, if we met criteria-we tried it, and none of it worked as well or as quickly as Healing with Horses Ranch for our family.”~Vanessa M, parent of a past HHR student
