Equine Assisted Therapy

Breed: Irish Sport Horse

Age: 22 years old

I spent much of my life as a high-level jumping horse, competing at the top of my sport. My athleticism and determination made me a champion in the ring, but I lived most of my career away from herd life, focused on training and travel. Now retired, I'm embracing a new chapter filled with relaxation and connection. I love socializing and exploring at my own pace, learning to connect without expectations. My background gives me unique sensitivity, especially when helping people with attachment, trust, or feeling safe in relationships. Having spent years without a steady herd, I understand feeling alone or out of place. I know safety in relationships is built slowly, through consistency, respect, and mutual understanding. My story shows that even after a lifetime of independence or isolation, it’s possible to find belonging, trust, and joy in new connections.

Breed: Belgian Warmblood

Age: 20 years old

I spent a lifetime mastering  dressage, cross-country, and show jumping. These days, I've transitioned from the high-paced world of competition to a quieter, more reflective life. I face challenges like separation anxiety and setting boundaries, especially with the mischievous goats in our herd. While I strive for harmony, I sometimes struggle to assert myself, revealing my sensitive nature. My journey is a reminder that even those with a history of accomplishments can encounter emotional hurdles. I believe everyone benefits from compassionate support and understanding. Whether you're meeting me for the first time or we've known each other for years, I hope to share the importance of balance, perseverance, and connection with my herd.

Breed: Palomino Buttes Mustang Age: 5 years old

I was rescued from the pens at just 4 months old and joined the herd when my original owner faced health challenges. I'm as "mischievous and relational" as they come. While I have the independent spirit of a Mustang, I cherish the connection of the herd. Think of me as a teenager in horse form - still figuring out relationship skills, respect, and boundaries. In sessions, I’m both a mirror and a teacher. My natural curiosity and habit of testing limits encourage clients to find their own voice and assert personal space. When I playfully push a boundary, it's not out of malice but to ask, “Where do you end and I begin?” Through our interactions, clients learn that boundaries are about creating safe, respectful connections. Working with me means balancing kindness with firmness and discovering that true connection thrives on mutual respect.

Breed: Mini Gypsy

Age: 2 years old

While I may be small in stature, my presence is definitely noticeable. I bring the strength of my heritage and the curious energy of a yearling to everything I do. I'm in an important stage of development, like a blank slate when it comes to deep relationships. Before joining this herd, I lived in a foster home with young kids, which taught me patience and gentleness. However, I'm still learning the subtle communication of a mature herd and the quiet connection found in therapeutic work. I enjoy play, but I'm discovering how to truly relate to others. I sometimes struggle with understanding boundaries and that humans aren't horses, so assertive communication is key with me. In sessions, I offer a chance for growth alongside me. As I learn about balanced partnerships, I reflect on those working on their own relationship dynamics, seeking clarity and calmness from my human partners.

Breed: Mini Horse

Age: 4 years old

I'm a young horse with a gentle soul and a calm presence that makes me a standout in our herd. Unlike most youngsters, I’m a natural anchor - steady and reliable, which makes me a great sidekick. I love connecting with everyone who walks into my space, and I have a special affinity for children. Even though I'm young, I seem to instinctively understand what kids need, offering them a patient and safe environment to build confidence and learn the language of horses. Whether being groomed or led through obstacles, I stay focused, gentle, and kind. I enjoy sitting with people, holding space for their emotions, and sometimes even lying down for a cuddle or nap.

Breed: Norwegian Dwarf

Age: 3 years old

I’m the baby of the group who often got nudged aside by my brothers. I had to wait patiently for my turn at the food trough. Despite that, my gentle spirit and persistence helped me grow into a confident little leader. I learned to stand up for myself, showing everyone that even the smallest goat can be mighty. My playful energy, curious personality, and resilience have made me a favorite among both humans and goats. Whether I’m exploring new parts of the pasture or hopping onto my perch, I remind everyone that courage comes in all sizes, and sometimes, the baby of the group turns into the most inspiring member of the herd.

Breed: Norwegian Dwarf

Age: 3 years old

I'm the resident mischief-maker of the farm. I'm easily spotted with my curious eyes and constant motion, always on the hunt for the next fun—or trouble! My favorite game? Pretending to head butt my fellow farm pals, just to see who’ll surrender their treats first. I love testing boundaries and keeping everyone guessing about my next move. While I might stir up a little chaos, it's always in good fun. Despite my small size, my confidence is huge. I'm always the first to explore new spaces, climb anything that looks challenging, and make sure I’m the center of attention. My mischievous streak is only matched by my charm—I’m the goat that keeps everyone laughing, even when I’m up to no good.

Breed: Norwegian Dwarf

Age: 3 years old

I'm always the first to snag the best snacks, not hesitating to nudge my fellow goats aside with a gentle headbutt or a determined shoulder. I like keeping everyone on their toes, reminding them I’m the one in charge. But don't let my tough exterior fool you—I’ve got a quirky side too. I love using Lux as my personal umbrella, staying dry and comfy while she stands patiently in the rain or sun. My energy keeps things lively around here, and my confidence is unmatched. Sure, my pushiness can stir things up, but I'm also the one leading the charge when it’s time to explore new pastures or check out anything new around the barn.

Breed: Norwegian Dwarf

Age: 3 years old

Despite my petite stature, I'm always on the move—exploring, jumping, and playing with an enthusiasm that's hard to resist. I get along with everyone, whether it's my fellow goats or the horses, and I'm known for keeping the peace in the pasture. My gentle nature and curiosity make me popular among all the animals here. I love being around people too and enjoy making new friends. Even though I'm the smallest, my big heart and lively spirit have made me a beloved member of our farm family.

I'm Rebel, the undisputed boss of the property. At 6 years old, I've mastered the art of being both charming and clever. While I technically live outdoors, I'm always scheming ways to get inside, determined to make the house my territory too. When I'm not plotting my next indoor adventure, I patrol the pasture, expertly hunting rodents and keeping the grounds in top shape. My instincts and athleticism make me a top-notch mouser, and I'm proud of my work. After a successful day, you'll find me relaxing in my catio, soaking up the sun and watching the world go by.

I'm Jinx, a 6-year-old feline enigma who thrives on the finer things in life. Technically, I'm an outdoor cat, but in my heart, I'm destined to be a pampered indoor prince. While other cats brave the elements, I dedicate myself to finding the softest spot available and perfecting my world-class snuggling skills. I love being carried around like a human baby, and trust me, my "Puss in Boots" stare is irresistible - just try saying no to my wide, soulful eyes when I'm asking for extra couch cuddles. But don't be fooled by my soft demeanor; when I hit the ground, I'm as agile as they come.

I'm Obi-Wan, true to my name as a Jedi of the wild. But don't let that noble title fool you - I thrive on my feral instincts. As the ultimate huntress, my domain is the great outdoors. While Rebel and Jinx enjoy relaxing, I spend my days scaling towering trees and surveying my territory with gravity-defying agility. Whether I'm stalking through the pasture or launching an aerial ambush from above, I move with fierce, untamed elegance. May the Force be with the local wildlife, because when I'm on the prowl, I take no prisoners.
