It all begins with an idea.

Owner /Facilitator

A little bit about me, Michelle Soderberg, I am grateful for the opportunity to help others find their way through the power of connection with horses. I firmly believe that animals, especially horses, have saved my life. The positive effects on my family’s life have come in droves. Trauma, mental health and substance abuse issues have impacted my family in various ways. I chose to bring horses back into our lives during a time of devastation. Horses gave my family the support and guidance that was needed. I knew that the horses could give us all the tools to figure out how to accept the situation we were in. This I had experienced myself. As an adolescent, I was able to continuously connect with many different horses during extreme times of need, for more than a couple of decades. The various connections and experiences with each horse, I deeply believe saved my life. They kept me alive by giving me the skills to be honest, authentic, and genuine. They taught me empathy for myself and others. They showed me my strengths and weaknesses and still do. Having experienced and being a witness to the healing power of animal’s connection to humans, I have chosen a path to learn more about how I can pay this gift forward. To bring this connection to others who need the gift of acceptance without judgment and hope. My goal is to provide a space where others can learn more about themselves, and life skills, to find what they need, through the partnership of our amazing herd of animals.
