✨ Be Authentic. Be Present. ✨
At SOOFA Ranch, we often see people arrive with their guards up, masking their true feelings because it’s how they’ve learned to navigate the world. But here’s the truth: you can lie to a therapist, but you can’t lie to a horse.
Horses mirror your energy, your emotions, and your intentions. Through Equine Assisted Therapy, they give immediate, honest feedback about how you show up and respond to the challenges life throws your way. It’s a powerful reminder to live authentically and be present in the moment.

🌟 We Find Solutions Before We Find Excuses 🌟
One thing I always tell my grandson is, “Find a solution before you find an excuse.” 💡 He got a real-life lesson in that the other day when it was time to feed the horses. 🐴
We had a heavy feed bucket that needed to be carried across the barn. My grandson took one look at it and said, “I can’t do it, it’s too heavy.” I reminded him of our motto—solutions first. 💪 After thinking for a moment, he decided to break the load into smaller buckets, making it easier to carry. Problem solved! 🙌
The horses were fed, and my grandson walked away with more than just an empty bucket. He learned that sometimes you have to pause, think, and find another way instead of giving up. 🥹
Horses have a way of teaching us the best lessons. Every challenge is an opportunity to grow, and every excuse is just waiting to be replaced by a solution. 💡
