Macy Ray Farm, Inc. We recognize the powerful nature of horses and their ability to create change in humans. We work with varying age groups to achieve a variety of outcomes.

Macy Ray Farm works specifically with OTTB's to create and achieve these desired outcomes. Horses communicate non-verbally. They rely on immediate feedback from their environment to survive. It is by this communication structure that horse and human, together, enter into a learning rich environment. This environment is full of relational problem solving that allows the person to learn emotional se

nsitivity, self and social awareness, self-management and effective communication skills and strategies. There is a large body of anecdotal evidence that suggests collaborating with the horse can be an excellent example of learning leadership competency. This includes emotional intelligence, in essence horses don’t lie. The brains of “prey” animals, such as horses, are organized much like that of a traumatized individual, an example being a combat veteran. The horse and the veteran are constantly scanning their environment for threats. The horse senses hyper-vigilance instinctively and demands the individual to master internal regulation, but also the horse will not tolerate “bad behavior” in the same way that humans or dogs will. However, unlike humans, horses remember past bad behavior but “forgive” it if the individual is currently behaving better in the moment. By responding to and rewarding what an individual is doing in the present, rather than remembering and responding to what he or she did in the past, the horse provides immediate feedback to the client that the new social skills the client is practicing are effective. Our unique approach provides a small solution to the unwanted horse crisis, while also helping horses and humans develop in their healing journey.

We recognize the powerful nature of horses and their ability to create change in humans. In fact, the ancient Greeks gave horseback rides to raise the spirits of the chronically and incurably ill.

Though we don’t work with the chronically or incurably ill, we do work with varying age groups to achieve a variety of outcomes. We are also unique in that Macy Ray Farm works specifically with OTTB's to create and achieve these desired outcomes.

We work specifically with OTTB’s because they come with stories. Many of the individuals that come to us have a story too. Together, horse and human, can non-verbally communicate this story and achieve learning and healing. Horses communicate non-verbally. They rely on immediate feedback from their environment to survive. It is by this communication structure that horse and human, together, enter into a learning rich environment.
