Equine Wellness Support for Addiction Recovery
Complementary Healing
with the Wisdom of the Horse
At Horse Discovery, we offer a safe and supportive environment for individuals who are actively in treatment or recovery from addiction. While we do not work with anyone under the influence, our programs are designed to complement professional treatment by helping participants rebuild inner balance, confidence, and self-awareness.
Since horses live fully in the present moment, being near them invites us to slow down, notice our breath, and reconnect with our bodies. In the quiet rhythm of the farm, participants learn regulation through mindfulness and awareness, experiencing what it feels like to be calm, grounded, and authentic.
Time spent in nature and partnership with horses brings clarity and self-alignment. As trust deepens, many find a renewed sense of purpose and wholeness that supports their ongoing recovery journey.
Activities can include:
-
reflective grooming
-
taking a horse for a walk on the trails or into the forest
-
meditation with the herd in the pasture
-
feeding the herd
We believe healing happens through presence, connection, and compassion — three things horses teach beautifully every day.
Private and group sessions are available, guided by Certified FEEL Facilitators, a Psychotherapist, or a Social Worker.

I learned that I can be completely honest about what I am feeling with the horses - with no judgment or disapproval.
Cheri was fabulous in making things easy to understand and remaining neutral.
Just grooming a horse and being aware of your breathing and their reactions is a wonderful therapy session in itself!
