Why horses? Because they see us—even when we’re not sure we see ourselves. 🐴

At The HERD Institute, we integrate equine-facilitated learning and psychotherapy to create embodied, relational, and deeply human spaces for growth.

This work invites us back into presence—with ourselves, each other, and the natural world.
