The Healing with Horses Signature Method
Mental Health Healing
Horses offer powerful benefits as partners in your healing journey. Our guided approach helps you gain skills to quiet mental noise, manage stress or anxiety, and invite more ease into your life with every interaction.
Strong Horsemanship
Come for calm, leave a great rider. With approachable riding instruction tailored to your goals, we'll make sure you have the foundation you need to grow in the horse world. English and Western is available.
Packaged into 1:1 Support
Unlike larger programs, our private lessons give you the 1:1 guidance you need to receive the full benefits from interacting with horses. All ages and stages of riding are welcome. No prior horse experience is required.
Hi, I'm Chloe -
Founder of Healing With Horses.
I know what it’s like to carry the weight of stress and anxiety.
For years, I poured my energy into competition and showing. My riding—and my life—changed when I discovered how to tap into the full healing benefits of working with horses. Yours can, too.
With a background in psychology focused on the connection between mindset and performance—and over a decade of experience as a professional trainer and certified riding instructor—I’ve developed a structured program that fills a crucial gap. It brings horses into the healing process in a way that helps ease stress, anxiety, and nerves, both in and out of the barn, while still supporting your growth and passion as a rider.
You’ll learn how to regulate your nervous system—something many of us don’t even realize is stuck in constant "fight or flight"—and uncover a renewed sense of calm and clarity that stays with you long after you leave the barn. You’ll also build on a passion outside of work or school. Whether you ride English or Western, recreationally or competitively, each session is designed to move you forward while creating space to step away from the noise of everyday life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Studies show that humans experience increased levels of oxytocin—the hormone that promotes social interaction, bonding, and empathy—when interacting with horses. Because humans and horses have similar brain chemistry, this connection creates a comforting sense of calm. When life feels overwhelming, being around horses can offer a grounding and soothing experience.
This program is open to all ages! Adults can enjoy a safe, peaceful space to connect with horses and step away from daily stress in a holistic way. We also welcome kids—it's a great way to teach responsibility, build confidence, and develop a bond with horses in a fun, outdoor setting. Experienced riders are welcome too! Whether you have your own horse or work with one from our barn, you’ll have the opportunity to deepen your partnership and grow your skills.
Unlike most programs that focus only on riding instruction or competitive goals, this one takes a healing-centered approach. Our focus is on helping you experience more benefits from interacting with horses. You'll learn to ease your mind through more meaningful interaction with horses—while also building strong horsemanship skills and becoming a better rider.
At the barn, our clients step into a calmer, more confident version of themselves. They use words like "grounded", "free", "capable", and "connected" to describe how they feel here—often saying it’s the first place they’ve felt truly calm in a long time.
Whether they’re seeking relief from stress, building confidence, or reconnecting with themselves through horses, we notice they begin to carry that calm into their daily lives. They show up with more patience, clarity, and resilience at work, school, and home—not just as better riders, but as more present, self-assured people.
No problem! While we offer travel training for horse owners across Texas, we also provide lesson programs at our barn. You’ll be matched with a horse that fits your level—no prior experience needed.
