✨ Help Us Build Hope by Overcoming Life’s Obstacles ✨

At JRI, our equine therapy program is completely FREE for those who need healing, confidence, and connection. 🐴💙

In our work, we often use obstacle courses to symbolize the real challenges people face every day. By guiding participants and horses through these courses, we show that no hurdle is too high when you have support. 🌟

We need YOUR help to keep doing this meaningful work at our new location. Our Amazon Wishlist includes items that will allow us to create safe, meaningful obstacle courses for therapy sessions. Every purchase directly impacts the lives of our participants and the horses who walk beside them.

Together, we can turn obstacles into opportunities. Thank you for helping us build hope, one step at a time. 💙🐎

Why horses? Because they’re attuned, responsive, and genuine. Working with horses helps youth build trust, regulate emotions, and grow. It’s therapy—with an added connection.

Therapy doesn’t always happen in an office.

At Trot On, youth work with mental health therapists and horses to build trust, regulate emotions, and heal. 🐎 Horses help us learn by doing—not just talking. ✨

It’s powerful, experiential, and trauma-informed.

Happy National Therapy Animal Day!

Today, we’re celebrating the powerful and healing role animals play in mental health—and especially the incredible impact of horses in therapy.

At Trot On, we do traditional therapy in a non-traditional setting—the barn. Here, horses help create a safe, engaging space for individuals to connect, reflect, and grow. By building a relationship with a horse, individuals work on emotional regulation, trust, communication, and gaining new perspectives.

Why horses? They respond to human emotion and body language in real-time, making them incredible facilitators for personal insight and growth. Whether someone is working on managing anxiety, building self-confidence, or healing from trauma, the presence of a horse adds a grounding, calming, and uniquely empowering element to the therapeutic journey.

National Therapy Animal Day is the perfect moment to recognize the calm strength and quiet support that horses bring.

Thank you to the wonderful horses who make this work possible!

Zephyr helped one of our youth “try on” some positive thoughts to support cognitive reframing. The youth identified more positive or more helpful thoughts to challenge their negative thinking. They also included a thought for Zephyr: “I am hungry.” 😂 They made sure Zephyr got some snacks after the session.
