Equine Guided Healing with Laurie Roach, MS. Certified Equine Assisted Coach You do not need experience with horses in order to enjoy this experience.
(3)

Horses are scientifically proven to help calm and heal humans by just their presence. This is an opportunity to come work on your individual goals so that you can become the person that you deserve to be. Sessions include, but are not limited to, ground work with horses, over coming obstacles, meditation, and letting the horse share space with you. Horses bring out a calming sensation for humans w

hen they share the same space together. Please note: This is not a horseback riding experience. It is equine assisted coaching on the ground with the horse as the assistant and yourself as the participant along with my help as a Psychologist (coach). I love helping people learn the love of the horse and the healing that can come from interacting with horses. I have 30 years of experience in horsemanship and over 20 years experience working with adults and children who have encountered trauma. I have recently combined both my past experience with both things that I love; horses and mental health (healing).

Jax....you are such an incredible therapy horse. Your gentle soul provides a safe place for others. I'm so very thankful that I get to take care of you while you take care of my clients ❤️ 🐴♥️

Hondo is really enjoying being a therapy horse. I cannot express how much a horse can change your mood within seconds. I was feeling a little defeated today and I went to Hondo for some guidance. Thank you, Hondo, for getting me out of that place in my head that overthinks. I know that I am doing all the things I need to be doing for myself right now. I just needed a little extra support. Even equine assisted therapists need their own sessions. After my time with him I had a really good confident ride in the arena on Pickett. ♥️🐴♥️

Happy rainy Easter from Pickett & Sally. The Easter Bunny came and the horses were not disappointed in receiving their carrots 🐰🥕🐴

Had a little extra help today during my session. Bandito wanted to be a part of it and made sure I noticed him too 🥰

The connection between this young lady and this rescue gelding, Button, are extremely strong. Watching them grow & trust each other is a very powerful experience to witness. Believe it or not this horse was unable to trust or be near humans just a couple months ago.

My young client reflected on her experience with him 2 weeks ago and today. She explained that 2 weeks ago he knew she was really sad and approached her and she felt a connection to him. He told her that she will be okay. The client had some good experiences since that encounter and she told me today that Button was aware that she was happier and they were able to share that feeling together. ♥️

I've never seen this young lady smile and laugh as much as she did today. When telling her mother about her experience she was beaming and they both were hugging each other as she shared her experience.

This young lady has been wanting to just "be a kid" lately and today she got to be just that. A happy child who deserves to be just that; happy.

If you schedule an equine assisted therapy session in the month of January 50% of session cost will go towards this pony's surgery.

Thank you!

UPDATE- Unfortunately our sweet boy kept fighting but his body did not. He was laid to rest peacefully this afternoon. In a small amount of time he received SO much love and care that he deserved way long before.

What I have learned is that love does win in the end. Though the outcome wasn't some beautiful story of recovery; it was an acknowledgement of what love can do in the last stages of life. He FELT it and we had to let him let go today. This is the hard part but also the learning part. Life is precious. No animal should suffer in the way he did prior to being with us.

The way you treat others is incredibly important. I feel like this horse represented a lot visibly with his neglect of how treating something poorly breaks over time. It's a slow and painful process. I hope this post can help others understand their journey. It certainly has helped mine. 🥰

Rest easy sweet boy. You have taught me more than you will ever know in this short time we had together.

I often wonder in these grave circumstances.....who is saving who? Or are we meant to come together for a lesson to be learned?

I will know these answers eventually but in the meantime I will just give love, a gentle touch and gentle voice; the things we all often desire. Simple. Quiet. Calm. Gentle. Kind.
❤️🐎❤️

Rest easy Bucky!

It has been an incredible year of healing for Bucky and so many of my clients.

Bucky came to us on 10/15/22. He was peacefully laid to rest today 11/1/23.

I want to thank each and every client who has worked with our senior horse Bucky. I also want to thank those clients who have donated portions of their sessions to the rescue. Bucky thanks you as well. Those donations help us provide a peaceful goodbye that was well deserved.

I will leave this post with a poem

The Best Horses in Heaven, They Have No Tail

by Miska Paget

The best horses in Heaven
they have no tail.
This is a rule they all know
without fail.
For when a new horse arrives
with a short cut bob,
they all know that this horse
did a very good job.

His owner could not bear
to part with her friend
so she saved his tail,
wrapped in ribbons
and in braids,
to hold with his memory
in a very loving way.

To enter Heaven
without a tail
is an honor,
a message,
that without fail
announces to everyone,
far and wide
that this horse
was more than a wonderful ride.

But
this horse was loved and cherished by one
and when his time serving on this Earth was done
he left behind
a broken heart
and a soul
from which he never will part

One of my best therapy horses doing some amazing healing work today ❤️🐎❤️🐴❤️

When the rescue horses need a meditative labyrinth walk.....they take it.❤️

This guy sure makes doing equine assisted therapy fun! I love it when they walk in the yard where the labyrinth is. Bucky knows the healing that the labyrinth provides as he continues to heal from his neglectful situation he was in prior to coming to us. He has become one of my go-to horses to help others heal. ❤️ #picksixequineguidedhealing #horsesheal #rescues #bucky #labyrinth

When you are sitting on the porch doing a session and processing a lot of emotions with a client and the horse worked with in prior sessions comes walking through the labyrinth. ❤️ Slider..... you always know what to do when I need you the most. Boy did this make my client smile big! Horses are truly magical. She needed your silliness at that moment! I also appreciate how careful you walk through the labyrinth not to knock over one rock! #picksixequineguidedhealing #horsesheal #labyrinth
