Equest

Healing can happen in unexpected ways, and sometimes it begins with a horse.

At Equest, our Equine Counseling Services provide a unique therapeutic environment where individuals can build confidence, develop coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and strengthen relationships through meaningful interactions with horses. Research shows that equine-assisted counseling can help reduce anxiety, increase self-awareness, foster trust, and support personal growth. Whether facing life challenges, stress, trauma, or seeking emotional wellness, participants benefit from the powerful connection between humans and horses.

Meet Thorin, our 2026 Horse of the Year! At our recent Spring Horse Show, Thorin was officially recognized as Equest’s Horse of the Year, a well-deserved honor for a horse who gives so much to our community every day.

Since joining the Equest family in 2019, this incredible Shire–Quarter Horse Cross has played an important role across multiple programs, including therapeutic riding, counseling sessions, and our Hooves for Heroes veteran program. Thorin helps create meaningful connections and lasting impact for participants of all ages.

We are so grateful for all the comfort, confidence, and joy Thorin brings to Equest. Congratulations, Thorin!
