OUR HORSES

The horses used in the therapy process include rescue horses, from mustangs who have recently been living wild in the mountains and deserts of the United States to horses and ponies that have been raised in domestic situations and who have interacted with humans for many years. Horses with different background are able to uniquely bond with the clients we serve because of their similar backgrounds. The benefit of the horse/human interactions is to heal both human and equine clients. Of primary focus in this combined therapy are military veterans who have psychotherapy needs.

Gallo had been stabbed with a samurai sword at the back of his flank and was very skittish, fearful and untrusting. Gallo has become a wonderful therapy pony but we continue to battle hoof problems secondary to the lack of care he received.
