In the serene mountain settings of Boulder and Golden, Colorado, where towering peaks
meet gentle meadows, there's a profound truth that reveals itself: we are not apart from
nature, but a part of it. Every rustling leaf, every mountain breeze, and every gentle horse
interaction reminds us of this fundamental connection. Working from our partner farms in
both Boulder and Golden allows us to offer diverse
natural environments for healing - each
location providing its own unique therapeutic landscape.
How Do Nature and Horses Work Together in Therapy?
Horses, as pure expressions of nature themselves, serve as mirrors to our authentic state of
being. They reflect back to us what we often cannot see in ourselves - our true emotions, our
genuine presence, our natural rhythms. This mirroring effect is powerful because it reminds
us of our own wild wisdom, our inherent connection to the natural world we're part of.
The integration of nature and
equine therapy isn't just about being outdoors with horses –
it's about
remembering who we are at our core. In our mountain barn settings, clients find
themselves immersed in natural sanctuaries where every moment offers an opportunity to
reconnect with their essential nature.
