Why Horses?
Horses are honest, present, and deeply intuitive. They meet you exactly where you are, without judgment. In their company, you’ll find a calm, grounding energy that makes self-discovery feel safe and natural.
They don’t need you to explain yourself. They simply respond to what’s real — your body language, your breath, your emotional state — and invite you to notice it too. Being near a horse can slow your nervous system, shift your perspective, and offer a kind of insight that words often can’t express.
Curious about how this connection works, or why horses have such a powerful effect on us?
What Is Equine Insight?
If you’re curious about what makes this work different, or how a quiet moment with a horse can open something meaningful in you, this is a good place to start.
Equine Insight is a peaceful place where horses help you reconnect with yourself, restore balance, and discover new strength.
Imagine stepping into a quiet, natural setting where time slows down and stress begins to fade. With the gentle guidance of our horses, you’ll experience connection, clarity, and healing in a way that feels natural and holistic.
Horses carry an extraordinary gift — the ability to mirror our emotions and reflect our true selves. Through their presence, they invite us to breathe, listen, and rediscover the parts of ourselves that long for peace and wholeness.

Judy Weston-Thompson has an abundance and spaciousness as the teacher, leader and guide in the journey to understand Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy. Her sensitivity and intelligence make her uniquely effective in helping students understand matters of safety and protection, nurturance, boundaries, communication, and relationship dynamics as it relates to working with a mighty horse.
And it must be said that her co-therapists Caesar, Calysta and Star partner seamlessly, providing countless metaphors and projective material to explore and assess with Judy’s guidance. Every session has given opportunity to witness and embrace how this work allows clients to connect the horse’s experiences to their own, and convey their feelings and issues in a way that is both dynamic and less daunting than might occur in traditional talk therapy.
Kim
Group Experience
I have had the deep pleasure of being in the company of Judy and two of her equine guides. Their calming energy, along with the peaceful environment at the stables, allow me to be fully present and at peace even when emotions are overwhelming and life seems unmanageable.
The horses model the ease with which we can interact with each other if we choose — with honesty, empathy, and mindful awareness. In their presence, we can look to our instincts and feelings, and listen to our visceral reactions instead of our thoughts. They naturally encourage self reflection, grounding, and the exchange of unconditional love. It's a special treat to spend time with them 💕.

Individual Session
I met Judy and Souly more than a year ago when I had personal issues to resolve. Judy provided the human touch to listen and advise, but Souly offered me a compassion and kindness that made me able to open up more freely. I believe he absorbed some of my anxiety. I also believe that in this time, the three of us formed a bond. I trust and love these two and consider them my friends.

Individual Session
I am so happy with how much progress and growth my son has been making through therapies with Judy and Baron for his own growth. The social challenges that used to be so hard in previous years are FINALLY starting to lift. It is such a wonderful thing to experience and I truly am so glad we crossed paths with Judy to get the process moving.

Individual Session
Walking into the arena to meet Judy and the horses was life-changing. I never realized how deeply horses connect with people and their surroundings. Working with Rosie, Doc, and now Sully has been incredible. The most powerful moment for me was sitting outside, feeling energy release from my body as the horses absorbed and processed it. This work is unforgettable, and I’m forever grateful to Judy and the three horses I’ve been lucky to grow with.
