Our Mission
Mission
Our mission is to provide equine-assisted or nature-based mental health and wellness services regardless of financial barriers.
Vision
Our passion is building confident and healthy individuals, stronger families and a united community. Using proven methods of nature based, equine assisted, and traditional talk therapies.
Value
Our core values are centered around prioritizing and upholding meaningful relationships and genuine connections with self and with others.
Sometimes one person getting support can make a difference across a whole family. A mom or dad who has space to work through a difficult season may find new ways to communicate with their partner, reconnect with their children, and move forward with hope. We can’t promise a particular outcome—but support can create room for healing and change.
Horses are an important part of the work at Walk With Me Healing Steps, and their care comes with real costs. Donations to the care of our horses help offset the cost of providing therapy and help make this kind of support more accessible.
Many people seeking help are working, caring for their families, and doing their best—but can’t afford the full session fee every week. People may apply for a reduced-cost service or scholarship. Veterans receive services at no cost, always.
Your donation helps sustain the horses who are part of this work—and may help make a next step possible for someone who needs support. That person could be a friend, a neighbor, or someone in your own family. When a parent gets support, the hope they find may ripple outward to their children, relationships, and community.
Thank you for helping make that hope possible.
“Walk With Me while I tell you a story.”
“When he first came to the barn he had survived years of abuse. He had been kicked, hit, bruised, branded, and scarred. He had sometimes been denied shelter and medical care, he’d gone days without food or water, and hadn’t felt a kind touch in years. He had been called useless, worthless, and stupid, and did not know what love or compassion felt like. After years the feelings of shame, fear, pain, and loneliness turned to anger, and eventually he grew tired of being hurt, so he pushed back. Then he was labeled. Aggressive. Violent. Unmanageable. And those who were supposed to have nurtured him finally abandoned him.
But his story didn’t end there…
Today he is safe. Happy. Healthy. He has found compassion, acceptance, and purpose.
And now that you have heard a small piece of his story, can you tell me…is he horse, or human?
Joe Nash – Veteran Spring Workshop 2025
Thank you for putting on such an amazing workshop! I am so glad that I decided to swallow my pride and agree to try WWM when Charity mentioned you guys and your program. I didn’t realize how much I needed this weekend but was a huge stepping stone for me. I had a great time and learned so much. From looking at things differently with different perspectives to great fellowship/team building with the guys. I appreciate you calling me out when I didn’t know my next move working with Twister. I was asked if I chose the wrong horse, and no I don’t think I did. I needed the humbleness and even though we hate humiliation, I learned from that. I didn’t want to try the round pen the second time bc I was called out the first time, but it opened my eyes more to correct, or work on correcting what I was doing wrong. I will learn round penning and won’t stop until I get it. I didn’t realize how hard that was bc you make it look so easy. Don’t want to go on and on, but wanted you to know I appreciate you and the whole team for everything you do there. Again, I didn’t realize how much I needed OBH and this weekend!
Ways You Can Help
Sponsor a horse
As little as $11 a day provides safety and housing for one of our rescued horses. We have 11 horse partners that work hard to help people heal.
$400 a month will pay for the basic needs of our equine therapy horses. The donation will provide hay, grain, pasture turnout, and supplements.
$14 a day $450 a month will provide all the basic needs listed above plus yearly vaccines, fly spray, wormer, and farrier service (getting their hooves trimmed every 6-8 weeks). We would love to match you with one of our equine partners.

Share because you care
Follow, like, and share our posts and videos. If you have a subject you would like to learn more about let us know. Tell people about us. If you know someone hurting or struggling in their marriage, with their children, or in life. We can help.
You Can Help
Not everyone has the time to volunteer at the farm. There are other ways to support Mental Health Healing and consider a monthly donation.
Because what’s happening here is bigger than a farm.
It’s a place where veterans rediscover peace, families reconnect, women find their voice, and people who once felt broken begin to believe healing is possible again.
Every fence repaired, every session sponsored, every horse cared for, every safe moment created here becomes part of something much larger than us all.
When you give, you are not simply making a donation.
You are helping create the space where transformation happens.
Where connection is rebuilt.
Where hope returns.
Where families grow stronger—and in turn, our communities grow stronger too.
And now… you’re part of that story.
Thank you for walking beside us.
Thank You
