Our Vision
At Out of the Ashes, our mission is to establish a unique ranch that serves as a transformative community center. Imagine a place where individuals can experience life restoration in a safe, loving, and supportive environment. Our ranch integrates the healing presence of animals into our support team, fostering a space where people can discover their own voices and inner wisdom.
Whether you’re young or old, our ranch offers a welcoming haven where everyone can find their place and thrive. Here, the bond between humans and animals creates a powerful foundation for healing, personal growth, and community building.
What is Equine Assisted Psychotherapy?
Equine assisted psychotherapy is a therapeutic approach that incorporates horses in a ground-based (non-riding) setting to help clients develop emotional awareness, improve communication skills, and work through challenges under the guidance of a mental health professional and equine specialist.
Eagala (Equine Assisted Growth and Learning Association) is a specific model and certification organization for equine-assisted therapy that requires a licensed mental health professional, an equine specialist, and horses to work as a team. We follow a strict ground-based (no riding), solution-oriented approach where horses serve as metaphorical mirrors for clients.
Out of the Ashes has Eagala Certification
We have been practicing this method with over 20 years combined experience. Some of the groups we have offered include grief, veterans, women’s, depression/anxiety and staff development.

“
The horse teaches us more than we teach him. He listens to our words, reads our emotions, feels our energy, and reflects it all back.”
