It All Starts With the Horses
For 25 years, horses have been at the heart of Medicine Horse.
Alongside our therapists and facilitators, they create opportunities for people to slow down, build trust, practice communication and boundaries, strengthen awareness, and experience connection in real time.
The work may look different for every person, but the horses remain at the center of it.
This Colorado Gives season, your gift helps care for the herd and sustain the work they make possible.
The Herd Makes the Mission Possible
At Medicine Horse, horses are not simply part of the setting. They are partners in the experience.
That is why caring for them well is part of caring for the people who come here.
Your support helps provide:
Feed and supplements
Hoof care
Veterinary and dental care
Safe pastures and shelters
Everyday care for the herd
Programs that create opportunities for connection, growth, and support for people experiencing grief, trauma, cancer, recovery, isolation, and other major life experiences
Our miniature horses, donkeys, goats, and barn cats are part of ranch life too, helping make Medicine Horse a welcoming, grounded, and connected place.
25 Years of Horses Helping Humans
This year, Medicine Horse is celebrating 25 years of creating opportunities for healing, growth, and connection through relationships with horses.
For a quarter of a century, people have come through our gates carrying different stories, challenges, hopes, and reasons for being here.
Through it all, the horses have remained at the heart of the work.
As we celebrate this milestone, we are also looking ahead.
Help us care for the horses at the heart of Medicine Horse and support the people who meet them here.
Whether you give $25, $50, $100, $250, $500, or more, every gift helps sustain the herd and the programs they make possible.
Horses Helping Humans. Healing through the empathic power of the horse
Medicine Horse is a Colorado nonprofit providing equine-facilitated mental health and wellness programs rooted in connection, experiential learning, and meaningful relationships with horses.
For 25 years, we have created a welcoming space where people can step outside of a traditional clinical setting and experience opportunities for growth, reflection, confidence, trust, and connection alongside horses.
Our programs support youth and adults navigating grief, trauma, cancer, recovery, isolation, life transitions, and other challenges. We work with licensed mental health professionals, trained facilitators, community partners, and our herd to offer therapeutic groups, individual services, community programs, and wellness experiences.
At Medicine Horse, horses are not tools or simply part of the setting. They are active partners in the experience. Their communication, boundaries, participation, and individual needs matter. This relationship between horse and human, supported by skilled professionals and a community built around connection, is at the heart of what makes Medicine Horse different.
We are also committed to making these experiences accessible. Through free and reduced-cost programming, partnerships, and community support, we work to ensure that financial barriers do not automatically determine who has access to meaningful opportunities for healing and connection.
After 25 years, our mission remains simple: Horses Helping Humans; Healing through the empathic power of the horse.
