Trauma doesn't always leave visible scars. Sometimes it looks like anxiety, isolation, exhaustion, hypervigilance, or difficulty trusting others.

Healing happens in many ways. At Chinook Horses, we meet people where they are and create opportunities to build safety, connection, and resilience alongside our herd. Feel like you may have PTSD? Call or message us to learn more. (917)903-0873

HAPPY NATIONAL DONUT DAY!
If you or someone you care about is enrolled in our Leadership Development Program, you'll learn about a different kind of donut....the "Donut of Control".

When working with horses, there are always things you can and can’t control — just like in life. The “donut” helps us notice which is which. Comment with one of your “outside-the-donut” things you can release this weekend.💜🐴🍩

🌈 Everyone deserves a place to belong.

At Chinook Horses, we believe healing, growth, and connection happen when people feel safe to be themselves. This Pride Month, we celebrate authenticity, courage, and the many ways people show up in the world.

You belong here. 💜🐴

Chinook Horses & Blue Kangaroo Social Cognition Camp

What do a kangaroo and a horse have in common? 🦘🐴

They both know that growth happens through movement, connection, and curiosity.

That's why Blue Kangaroo Autism Connection Center and Chinook Horses are partnering for Social Cognition Camp, where kids can build social skills, confidence, communication, and friendships alongside our incredible herd.

Because sometimes the best way to connect with people is to start by connecting with a horse.

This weekend, we said goodbye to our beloved Velour. Losing a horse who has carried so many people through their own healing is a different kind of heartbreak.

If Velour touched your life and this loss feels heavy, please reach out by message or comment below. We'd love to hear your stories, share your memories, or simply sit with you in the sadness. You don't have to carry it alone.

Thank you, Velour, for your gentle spirit, your patience, and the countless ways you helped humans find their way back to themselves.
🌈🐴💜

One reason horses are such powerful partners in mental health work is that they live completely in the present moment. Equine Learning and Therapy provides an honest responce, clear communication, and opportunities for people to practice awareness, regulation, and connection in real time.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, we're grateful for the herd and the many lives they've helped impact over the years.

Be sure to check out our summer sessions. Please share this post, and message us with any questions you may have.
