Our Vision
A more connected, healthy and compassionate community
With the aid of our herd of therapy horses, we offer groups for veterans & active duty service members, people in recovery from substance abuse, people with disabilities, the LBGTQ+ community, women impacted by breast cancer, trauma & abuse survivors, children with autism, underserved/marginalized youth, and more.
Horses, animals and nature, coupled with therapeutic expertise, makes what we do at Medicine Horse truly transformative.
Our Values
To heal through connection
We believe that healing happens through relationship, and relationship begins with connection — to ourselves, our surroundings and others. The horses offer us a safe, forgiving, and non-judgmental place to experience the healing connection of relationships.
To transform
We believe that horses hold an ability to transform human lives for the better. When we listen, horses teach us to ground, to be present, and to connect. Working with our horses and therapists can lead to great personal insight and understanding.
To respect and honor the horse
We respect and honor the wisdom of the horse. We demonstrate this by making session interactions voluntary for our horses, and listening to and responding to their individual needs and requests.
To serve
We serve diverse populations respecting the dignity and value of each individual.
