Our Mission

Equine based activities such as learning about herd dynamics and how they help us navigate our human "herd" at work, home, and in public as well as one-on-one experiences with horses to enable us to identify our emotional state through the horse's response to how we show up.  As a prey animal, horses do not inherently trust strangers.  They rely on their senses and awareness of their surroundings to stay alive, and therefore are excellent at communicating their comfort/discomfort with our present state. In this way, we can begin to learn how to regulate our emotions to better connect with the horse as we work towards a partnership with them.   This experience serves us in the community to better recognize how we show up, provides tools for self-regulation in stressful situations, and gives us tools for interacting with and supporting ourselves, our friends and our families.  Additional programs, advocacy activities, community awareness events and others will also be provided as we grow!
