When you come to the barn - the horses don’t see you as Sally - the kid with ___ , you are just a human being coming to connect, love on and just be with the horses!!!

The benefits are endless for adults and children alike! With an electromagnetic field of 50 feet, the calming and regulation of nervous systems after being with these amazing animals is profound!

Hi! I’m new here !!!! 👋

We are on the grow again!!!

Meet Coda, this quiet natured 17 year old paint gelding joined our team just over a week ago! Originally from Minnesota, but resided North of Saskatoon with a lovely gal since he was 5 - we can’t wait for you to meet him! 💙

It’s more than “MAGIC”

"Recent studies conducted by the Institute of Heart-Math provide a clue to explain the two-way ′′healing′′ that occurs when we're close to horses.
According to researchers, the heart has an electromagnetic field larger than the brain: a magnetometer can measure the energy field of the heart that radiates from 2.4 meters to 3 meters around the human body.
While this is certainly significant, perhaps more impressive than the electromagnetic field projected by the heart of a horse is five times larger than that of a human being (imagine an electromagnetic sphere around the horse) and it can influence our own heart rate.

Horses are also likely to have what science has identified as a "coherent′′ heart rate (heart rate pattern) that explains why we can feel better when we're close to them. Studies have found a coherent heart pattern or HRV to be a solid measure of well-being and consistent with emotional states of calm and joy-that is, we exhibit such patterns when we feel positive emotions. A coherent heart pattern is indicative of a system that can recover and adapt to stressful situations very efficiently. Many times, we just need to be in the presence of horses to feel a sense of well-being and peace.
In fact, research shows that people experience many physiological benefits by interacting with horses, including lower blood pressure and heart rate, higher beta-endorphins (neurotransmitters acting as pain suppressors), decreased stress levels, decreased feelings of anger, hostility, tension and anxiety, better social working; and greater feelings of empowerment, confidence, patience and self-efficacy.”

UPDATE - Accepting NEW CLIENTS
I have filled the majority of spaces, I have weekday daytime availability, Saturday slots 6:00 & 7:00 pm & one weeknight possibility!

Friday mornings in August!

Now accepting new youth clients, I offer private - one on one lessons … a combination of Equine Assisted Learning both on the ground and in the saddle which will be tailored to each child’s needs!

Equine therapy is backed by copious amounts of research that shows how beneficial horses are not only for our mental health but helping to calm and regulate our nervous systems, not exclusive to but especially helping those that may be neurodivergent.

Maybe your child does not excel in a group class for various reasons or they need the focus of a 1-1 coach. I work with children that are not limited to , but often include a diagnosis of Autism, ADHD, ODD etc .

I work from a facility just 10 minutes south of Saskatoon on a paved highway.

If you are curious about Equine Therapy and wonder if it would be a good fit for your child - let’s chat!

✨ Perseverance ✨

If I have learnt anything about working with horses it’s about sticking with it day after day and time after time!

When this child came to start riding with me, we went through it all- throwing helmets, not wanting to be at the barn, couldn’t even get him on a horse the first 3 times … because change is hard especially when you face some challenges that a lot of neurotypical people don’t!

I have a special place in my heart for those with an ASD diagnosis & some days I am just reminding myself to hang in there…. Because when you do! This can be the result!!! 😍😍😍

I know you can’t see the rider or hear my coaching because I say their name out loud but just know they are smiling, weaving those cones and asking to come again week after week now!

This child stuck it out time after time, worked through the big feelings and decided to give it a go! I am so proud of them- and grateful to watch the transformation!

This is why horses are the best teachers and such good “therapy” for us all! The change you can see happen right before you is quite unlike anything else I have ever witnessed 🩷

My boys are thrilled and we can’t wait for you to meet her at the barn!!!

I don’t need science to to be able to explain what I feel when I am with horses or what I have witnessed first hand when I have others come to work with the horses but this video is so neat in explaining some of the science behind why these incredible animals are so good for us!!!

Take a peak at this short video ⬇️

The meaningful bonds that can exist between people and horses have been shared widely across time and culture. Many who have worked closely with horses have ...

💫 CONNECTION 💫

Did you know : Because horses are such social animals, horses need relationships to feel happy. A lack of socialization can have a negative psychological impact on a horse, especially young horses.

Humans aren’t so different: we need to feel connected to others & relationships play a HUGE role in our lives (both for the good and bad).

This is just another reason I love connecting people to horses - in so many ways we actually aren’t that different 😉
