misfit neigh-tion sanctuary program

We are passionate about giving second chances and healing traumas for horses and humans alike. We rescue horses who are slaughter-bound, thrown away after serving mankind, rehabilitate them and those that choose to trust again partner with our coaches to help humans heal traumas. We focus on survivors of domestic abuse, human trafficking, at-risk youth, and Veterans. Through the horse-human connection, we are able to unpack and identify traumas and help humans heal and step into a fulfilled life.

Humans need help. In what seems to be an ever more violent world, the need for effective ways to help people unpack their baggage and heal their traumas so they can live a fulfilled life is at an all-time high. Horses and Mules need help. So many have served mankind for years and when no longer able to do their job are thrown away, to meet a horrible end. We honor that these sentient beings have gifts to give humans outside of being ridden. We give them a second chance.

By supporting and healing the horses and mules in our herd we are able to partner with them and help people heal emotional traumas through the horse-human connection. Equine partnered coaching is on the rise with amazing results. Our Certified Equine Gestalt Method Practitioners have spent over 2 years studying effective experiential and somatic methods around partnering with the horse to help people create awareness around their traumas, unpack them, and move towards a positive future.

Helping heal more and more people, by bringing awareness of alternative healing methods we provide healthy options outside of traditional therapy. The more people that we help the more awareness that is brought to the gifts that horses and mules have to give humans outside of being ridden. Horses and mules value and love for humans is immense, unconditional and powerful. Our legacy is to help humans experience healing in a different way and help the horses and mules realize a different fate..
