Our Mission

We empower First Responders, Military Personnel, Veterans, and their Families to heal and build resilience through active, compassionate, evidence-based equestrian programs.

Why horses?

Horses are highly intuitive and responsive animals, naturally attuned to human emotions and behaviors. Their honest, non-judgmental feedback helps individuals deepen emotional awareness, establish healthy boundaries, and build trust.

As horses can mirror human emotions, horses can offer an un-biased response that often leads to self reflection, the ability to regulate emotions and to improve relationships.

Through horses, we facilitate:

  • Emotional Regulation

  • Trauma Processing

  • Self-reflection and personal growth.

  • Somatic healing through embodied connection without pressure

  • Nervous-system regulation through Mindfulness

  • The utilization of the EAGALA Method, a world-renowned, evidence based equine-assisted learning model.

Why First Responders & Military Personnel?

We want to give back to those that bravely serve our communities.

We provide structured, evidence-based treatment that aligns with their unique challenges and dedicated mindset.

Gaits to Healing implements a unique, equine-focused First Responder & Military wellness program that prioritizes resilience, recovery, and long-term well-being.
