One may ask how we keep the horses warm during the cold months and freezing temperatures. Horses grow thick insulated coats to prepare for the cold. We provide blankets to help trap the body heat inside. When waters freeze over it’s essential that we break up the ice and provide hot water throughout the day. Extra forage and electrolytes are also provided to help them stay in optimal health to maintain their warmth.

I always start my day with coffee and Rainier ☕️

🤎On 5/3 we had to say goodbye to one of our amazing therapists Rick. One of the hardest parts about this job is losing a part of your team. Although we know the risk of adopting in horses with chronic issues, the pain when they leave us never gets any easier. We feel honored that Rick got to join us for a few years and touch the hearts of hurting children. When Rick joined us he had a lot of anxiety to work through. Our hearts are warm and full knowing that the last 6 months of Ricks's life was pure peace and happiness and that he is now running around pain-free. Rick, you were so loved and will be missed dearly.

Meet Bella, a young woman whose life took an incredible turn when she discovered the power of working with horses through equine therapy. 🐴✨She discovered how to set boundaries, build trust, and cultivate self-awareness. She gained a deeper understanding of her emotions and learned healthy coping strategies. She found solace in the serenity of nature and the unconditional love of the horses. Thank you Bella for your bravery in sharing your story! This video was produced by the Tulip Tribes - Raising Hands at Raven Rock Ranch. We are proud to share Bella’s story and be apart of the lives of so many who are at a crossroads. The light we can bring their lives is a blessing. 🌟 #EquineTherapy #HealingWithHorses #Transformation #SelfDiscovery

Why Equine Facilitated Therapy Works

The part of the brain that is “shut down” when a person experiences trauma is the limbic section. That is the part of the brain that governs emotion, therefore, affecting relationships. When a person is traumatized, the limbic brain puts them into a constant state of “hyper-vigilance.” When we are in that state, it is not possible to form a relationship. Therapists cannot access the limbic part by talking to it, assuring the traumatized person returning home from the war, for example, that everything is fine and not to worry. The only way to access it is through experiential learning.

Horses’ brains are almost exclusively limbic. And, being a prey animal, they absolutely MUST be in relationship with those they live with (horses in their herd and/or people in their lives) for survival. They are in constant search of relationship. Children cannot trust people when they have been betrayed by them, but will trust a horse. When they are together, they regulate each other’s behavior and their own. That ability to regulate behavior and to open up the channels of relationship then transfers over to relationships with the people in their lives.
