Today I arrived here at Equine a bit on edge just due to some personal reasons in my life. We get to see & go in w/ the Mustangs which were so touching. Moonshine came up to me from behind & greeted me, it was so sweet. I wasn’t really looking forward to coming today, actually I was kinda regretting coming & now I’m so thankful & grateful I did. Seeing these gigantic beautiful beasts puts a smile on my face & in my heart. The pure fact that horses can help you process trauma & pain and actually make you feel better after doing so is quite extraordinary if you ask me.
The day is absolutely BEAUTIFUL today. I just told the group members (E, T, K & A) we couldn’t ask for a better day to be out here. The sun is shining & it’s HOT! Everyone except D---- is brushing the horses & I’m sitting here catching some UV rays. I f------ LOVE it! ~N.D. Substance Use Disorder Group I want to give a huge shout out to Hope Reins Healing Equine Therapy, Aubree, and Kelbie! Aubree & Kelbie provide a safe place for me to be vulnerable and heal. I love working with these amazing, sweet, talented women and the amazing sweet horses. I can’t explain in words how much equine therapy is helping me heal spiritually and emotionally from 18 years of abuse. I highly recommend Hope Reins Healing Equine Therapy!!
The wonderful ladies & horses hold my emotions with me nonjudgmentally therefore it’s easier to get vulnerable and heal. I was abused sexually, physically and emotionally my whole childhood and so I have lots of trauma and maladaptive behaviors. Working with these horses is helping me heal from my trauma. It’s a beautiful and sacred special place. ~Amber S. I want to thank your team for being an important part of Gracie’s trauma recovery. I get emotional just writing about it. Gracie has been through some very tough things, including a recent hospitalization in August.
Gracie had started her sessions which were interrupted by this hospitalization. Equine Therapy allowed Gracie to continue in a new session after she was discharged, which she was ecstatic about. When we heard about this therapy, we were both elated. Finally, something outside of the office where a child can heal. No child wants to sit in an office and discuss their hurt and betrayal. This was such a great opportunity for Gracie to socialize, connect, and heal. Gracie immediately took to Dakota, who shares a similar past. Gracie was able to realize that she is not the only one on this tough journey and was able to see that you can heal from this, if you choose, just like Dakota. Gracie now has an art print of Dakota hung on her wall to remind her of this amazing opportunity. The Hope Reins team is amazing, caring, and patient. I would highly recommend this for anyone looking for a new way to heal. ~Gracie's Mom |
