Excelsior Ranch serves those who have served us. We work alongside horses to help participants build resilience, confidence, emotional regulation, communication, healthy boundaries, and trust. Horses provide honest, immediate feedback that helps individuals develop new skills and discover strengths in a safe, supportive environment.
Our approach is different from traditional talk therapy because participants are never required to speak openly about the trauma they have experienced. Instead, they learn through hands-on experiences with horses. For example, a horse may be frightened by something we know is safe. Rather than forcing the horse to "get over it," participants learn how to build trust, create safety, and regulate emotions, often discovering meaningful parallels to their own experiences along the way.
Each session is facilitated by a mental health professional, an equine specialist, and a herd of horses. We primarily serve veterans, first responders, and individuals experiencing PTSD, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and life transitions.
