Medicine Horse is a Colorado nonprofit that offers free/donation-based equine-Facilitated psychotherapy and learning sessions. We strive to be an industry leader in what we do. This includes our horse keeping and care.

​

All boarded horses participate in our therapy program. In exchange for their participation, we offer a beautiful, tranquil facility with lower boarding rates. This is also a benefit for the right horse and human that appreciate that we provide their furry friends connection and that their horses are helping others.
