Freedom Equine Connection is the product of a lifelong love and passion for horses and a deep desire to help people heal from life’s traumas, addictions, and other mental and emotional health issues. We utilize a ground-based horse and human interaction model to help with the healing, learning, and growing process.
 

Horses have an amazing ability to read our nonverbal communication and adapt to hidden messages and emotions we often don’t know we carry. Growing evidence and research support Equine Assisted Psychotherapy's effectiveness, which Freedom Equine Connection provides through a team of certified, licensed professionals and horses.
 

A lifelong horsewoman, our founder, Denise Wilson has always instinctively shared her horses with people, especially during times of distress, perceiving that time spent in the presence of horses is healing. This understanding of the power of healing with horses led her to research and attend intensive, accredited trainings and continues to expand her knowledge through continuing education on the journey she started as young girl and to fulfill her heart for the care of both humans and horses.
 

The healing environment created by our team helps people process distressing or difficult emotions, thoughts, and behavioral patterns, often resulting in deep insights and improvement in overall mental and emotional well-being.

​

​In addition to our mental health services, our team is equipped to help children of all ages overcome learning challenges through the Horse Powered Reading ® model. This approach combines all their senses to help children succeed in school and life.

​

Together we can realize a world where all mental health needs are met.
