The Generous Horse Project
A Safe Haven for Horse–Human Trauma Recovery.
The Generous
Horse Project
Changing Lives One Connection at at Time.
Trauma- and attachment-informed psychotherapy grounded in nervous system science, relational healing, and consent-based work with horses.
A Different Way of Working with Trauma
​​Trauma shapes the nervous system—how we experience safety, connection, and threat, often outside conscious awareness.​
Rather than focusing only on insight or retelling the past, we work with what is happening in the present moment: in the body, in relationship, and in patterns that repeat.
Change emerges through safety, attunement, and shared regulation.
What Therapy
Looks Like
Here
​​​​​​​​​​​Change unfolds through presence, time, and relationship—not force.
Sessions are intentionally simple.
​
There may be moments of movement or stillness, conversation or silence.
The horses may come close—or keep a distance. All of that matters.
There is no agenda to complete and no role to perform.
​
The work is guided by attention to:
-
nervous system safety
-
relational cues
-
readiness and pacing
​​​​​​​​
A Living System of Care
We work with complex trauma and attachment wounds by including the body, the environment, and living relationships in the healing process. Safety is not only a feeling here. It is something held collectively—through an ecosystem that has been thoughtfully cared for over time.
Trauma- and attachment-informed psychotherapy that supports regulation, resilience, and reconnection.
Ways to Work With Us
We believe healing happens in a relationship.
Change takes shape when people are seen, heard, and understood.
Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy
Ground-based, consent-based work with horses—supporting regulation, attachment repair, and embodied healing.
Trauma Informed Psychotherapy
Somatic + attachment-focused (EMDR) therapy for trauma, overwhelm, and life transitions.
Intensives, Groups, Consultation
Support for clinicians and organizations seeking ethical, trauma-informed equine work.
Healing for Horses, Too.
We believe healing happens in relationships.
Safety is not a promise—it is pace.
Change takes shape when people and horses are seen, heard, and understood long enough for something new to become possible.
Generous Horse Manifesto
All of our horses carry their own histories—some marked by trauma, hardship, or pain, others by loss and transition.​They are not rotated through sessions or asked to perform. They live here. This is their home.​ By safeguarding herd bonds, predictability, and choice, we support their recovery alongside the humans they work with.​
​
What heals people here also protects the horses.
