Mission

Godspeed Equine provides faith based equine therapy and learning activities to provide hope, healing and opportunities for emotional growth using horses and the Love of Jesus.

Why Horses?

A horse’s sensitivity to communicating without words can provide incredible opportunities to learn about ourselves. Horses don’t lie, they don’t hold grudges, they provide honest, clear, and immediate feedback about the effectiveness of our actions. This allows participants to see what works, what doesn’t work, whose needs are being met, whose problem it is, and to take responsibility. Horses live in social groups valuing their relationships and connections with each other and us. They can teach us how to stay in the moment, manage our emotions, and improve self-awareness. This encourages healthier patterns of relating to others and strategies for dealing with the hurt and pain many of us carry in our lives. GodSpeed Equine gives participants the tools to discover effective ways to manage anger, resolve conflict, exhibit responsibility, establish self-care and healthy boundaries.

Vision

Our vision is for participants to experience the love of Jesus using horses to teach them how to be authentic and present, seeking open and honest communication with others while learning to give and receive trust and respect.
