The Son and Reins Ranch is a faith-based but not faith-required ministry that works with rescue horses to help people work through various mental, emotional, and relational challenges.

Many of our participants say that they get more healing, insight and breakthroughs out of one equine-assisted-learning and philosophy (EAP/EAL) session than they get after months or sometimes years of traditional talk therapy. This is because, unlike talk therapy, our EAL/EAP sessions are experiential, hands-on, in-the-moment activities. Participants engage all of their senses, with or without words, which leads to greater understanding, application and retention.

Horses have no agenda; they are always present and authentic, they are not influenced by bias, judgement or preconceived notions, and they are unapologetically free to be themselves. They are natural communicators and have an innate way of helping us see and understand ourselves better; thereby helping participants feel empowered to discover truth, gain awareness, experience growth and healing, find peace and purpose, and gain understanding and perspective.

We can’t fake it with a horse or with God. Thankfully both are willing to meet us right where we are; to offer us unconditional love, truth, hope, and acceptance.

In upcoming letters we will share more specific examples of what EAL is and how God uses it in life-changing ways, you'll also get to meet the horses and you'll get to hear directly from people who's lives have been touched and impacted.
