"Volunteering as Cowboy’s assistant handler not only deepens my connection with him, but also allows me to contribute directly to the community.

Through this role, I get to be a  part of the therapeutic process, assisting in sessions that bring joy and support to various individuals."

"Horses helped me through a very tough time in my life when nothing else could. The healing power of the horse is real, beautiful, and important. I wanted to pay it forward and immerse myself in the equine therapy community.

 Working with Cowboy and Harley has been such a privilege. I see the healing they bring and feel they are a direct reflection of a caring guardian. They are special beings touching peoples hearts in places nothing else can reach and I'm happy for my small role in this very real form of MAGIC."
