In the rhythm of a horse’s breath, many find the courage to breathe again.

Hope learned at an early age that spending time with horses had a positive impact on humans.  At age 9, Hope met her first horse and knew that is was a relationship that would forever change her.  Over the past 25 plus years, Hope has paired horses with humans for a multitude of activities including recreational riding, therapeutic riding, natural horsemanship, equine-assisted mental health, and equine-assisted learning.  Hope is certified by the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International (PATH) as an equine specialist in mental health and learning and as a therapeutic riding instructor.  She is also certified with OK Corral, and is currently studying Natural Lifemanship, a trauma-informed equine-assisted psychotherapy (EAP) model.  Hope is passionate about helping people heal through connection with horses, nature, and our own inner experience.
