Horses are fantastic partners for helping our ranchers.  They can notice and emotionally reflect back on what they are observing in a rancher’s behavior, allowing the rancher to have deeper self-awareness and insight. Spending time with horses can help alleviate symptoms of anxiety, depression, grief, and PTSD (Raypole, 2022). Horses are also great teachers of truths that are found in God’s Word, helping to be living illustrations of what it looks like to connect with God, build trust, establish healthy boundaries, and find peace.
