Brandon O'Hearn

My name is Brandon. I used to be wary of horses—and of the people who loved them—but after two summers of riding, wrangling, and guiding, I quickly fell in love with these incredible animals. I’m especially fascinated by the science behind how horses help us regulate through heart coherence and electromagnetic fields. I’m deeply passionate about this work and have seen firsthand how simply being outside—with the horses, in the sunshine, surrounded by the familiar barn smells—can help me return to a sense of feeling happy, safe, and grounded.

Pike Beveridge

Pike is currently working towards her Masters in Social Work at the University of Denver. Prior to interning with Medicine Horse she has worked at youth homeless shelters, transitional housing programs, and as an equine assisted behavioral health coach in Anaheim, CA. Born and raised in Boulder, Pike grew up riding and show jumping around the front range. She is drawn to the work at Medicine Horse because she has witnessed first-hand how being outside around animals can help us learn to regulate and find joy. She has a particular interest in helping kids and youth find creative, non-traditional ways to heal and grow from complex and historical trauma.
