Before you charge into your Wednesday, take a quick pause.
💚 Green: calm and ready
💛 Yellow: restless or silly
❤️ Red: frustrated or overwhelmed
💙 Blue: tired or low energy

At Chinook Horses, we use the Zones of Regulation to build awareness before taking action—just like we do before a session.
When you know your zone, you can choose what you need to move toward balance.

When your internal state matches your external cues, horses recognize you as safe and predictable. Authenticity to a horse means coherence: your tone, posture, and emotions line up. Thats why we go through the Zones of Regulation before each session. More about that later this week.

🐎 How Does Equine-Assisted Therapy Actually Work?

Some people picture riding when they think of horse-based therapy—but in the Eagala Model, almost everything happens on the ground. Clients collaborate with horses, a mental health professional, and an equine specialist to uncover insights, build connection, and grow in real time.

From anxiety and trauma to depression and relationship challenges, this experiential approach offers a powerful alternative for clients who might struggle in purely verbal settings.

When life feels overwhelming, one of the simplest tools for calm is right in your hands — literally.

Trace your hand slowly with your finger.
🖐️ Inhale as you move up a finger.
🌿 Exhale as you move down.
Repeat until your breath slows and your shoulders soften.

Horses do this naturally — they regulate with deep, rhythmic breathing and awareness of their herd.💜

Today we honor Indigenous Peoples’ Day.
We recognize the deep and enduring connection Indigenous communities have with this land and with the animals that share it.

At Chinook Horses, we are grateful to learn from those values of respect, balance, and healing — and to walk this land with gratitude
