Our Specialties
Excelsior Ranch offers a distinctive approach to equine-assisted therapy, exclusively working with horses on the ground. Our sessions empower clients to find answers within themselves, bypassing the need for extensive verbal communication. Addressing challenges ranging from trauma to relationship issues, our unique method fosters metaphorical connections with horses, delivering transformative experiences.
What people are saying
"You can't lie to a horse. If you are not being authentic, they know. If you are afraid and trying to hide it, they know."
"The horses are teaching me the difference between being assertive and being aggressive. I realized I need to change the way I am interacting with my family."
"I am learning what it means to stay in the present moment, to stop revisiting what happened to me and live in the here and now."
