Meet the Guides
Quigley
\With a name that sounds like a storybook secret, Quigley (Birch Creek Medicine) is our resident dreamer. Born under the wide, endless skies of the Montana wild, he carries the quiet magic of the mountains in his very soul.
Quigley’s journey brought him to the rolling hills of Minnesota when he was just three years old, and he has spent the years since then mastering the delicate art of trust. He isn’t one to rush into a friendship; he is a selective soul who believes that the best connections are those built slowly, like the steady growth of an ancient oak. To earn a place in Quigley’s circle is a truly magical experience—a quiet "yes" from a horse who chooses his people with great intention.
Though he is soft-hearted and deeply loving, Quigley possesses a spark of boundless curiosity. He approaches the world with wide eyes, always eager to explore a new path or learn a new lesson. In his presence, we learn the value of patience, the beauty of a cautious heart, and the incredible reward that comes when we finally decide to reach out and connect.
Tommy
Meet Tommy (Third Eye Blind), the farm’s wise elder with a mischievous twinkle in his eye. At 26 years young, this registered Paint horse is a master of the "zen" lifestyle—a gentle, unshakable soul who remains perfectly unbothered by the hustle and bustle of the world around him.
But don’t let his distinguished age or calm exterior fool you; Tommy is a firm believer that you’re never too old for a little fun! He possesses a playful, sneaky streak that often emerges when you least expect it, gently testing your patience and nudging you to check your boundaries. He’s a playful reminder that even the most grounded among us need a bit of spark and spontaneity.
Beneath the games, Tommy is the definition of loyalty and security. He is a horse who is deeply rooted in his true, authentic self, moving through the world with a quiet confidence that is completely infectious. When you partner with Tommy, you aren't just working with a horse; you are connecting with a steady, respectful guide who helps you peel back the layers to discover your own inner truth.
To stand with Tommy is to be invited into a space of total acceptance—a place where you can stop searching and simply be.
Kova
As the self-appointed Queen of the farm, she manages her kingdom with a graceful purr and a watchful eye, ensuring every guest feels like royalty from the moment they arrive.
Kova takes her role as the Official Greeter very seriously. You’ll likely find her perched at the entrance, patiently awaiting your arrival. She’s the first friendly face you’ll meet, offering a warm welcome before you’ve even stepped out of the car. While she clearly runs the show, Kova’s true majesty lies in her boundless capacity for connection. She doesn't just receive love; she amplifies it. To be on the receiving end of one of her signature hand kisses is to be officially "knighted" into her inner circle.
Whether she’s leading the way to a session or offering a soothing presence during a difficult moment, Kova reminds us all that leadership is rooted in love and that a little bit of comfort can go a long way.
Jasper
Jasper (Diamond in the Rough) might be small in stature, but this little guy is the undisputed "CEO of Big Energy" around the farm. With a heart that barely fits inside his chest and a personality that fills the entire arena, he is living proof that the most profound lessons often come in the smallest packages.
Don’t let his size fool you—he carries himself with the confidence of a champion and the comedic timing of a seasoned performer. In his presence, the world feels a little more manageable, and the path to healing feels a lot more like a shared adventure.
He excels at teaching us that true power isn't about size; it’s about presence, connection, and the courage to take up space.
Geppetto
Every royal court needs a jester, and this guy is the farm’s undisputed Minister of Mischief. While others might focus on the heavy lifting of healing, he is here to remind us that a little laughter is often the best medicine.
He doesn't have a serious bone in his body, and frankly, he’s not looking for one! While he isn't a permanent fixture in every therapy session, when he does decide to make a "guest appearance," he brings an infectious, joyful energy that can lighten even the heaviest of days. Whether he’s instigating a friendly wrestling match with his sisters or showing off his acrobatic skills with a favorite toy, he is a living invitation to play, move, and find the fun in the present moment.
The only thing he treats with any level of gravity is his sacred nap time. He is a professional at finding the perfect sunbeam and proving that rest is just as important as play. By watching him, we’re reminded that it’s okay to let go of our "serious" selves, embrace our inner goofball, and—most importantly—never skip a good nap.
Pippen
Pip’s sweet soul is the quiet sanctuary of our sessions. Small in size and angelic in spirit, she is a master of the "gentle hello," offering a soft, grounding presence for those who need a moment of stillness.
She is a connoisseur of quiet—a seeker of calm who avoids the chaos and instead finds beauty in the hush. If you sit still long enough, you may find a cloud-soft weight settling onto your lap. Her preferred "office" is right there with you, providing a tactile sense of comfort and safety that words often can't reach.
Though Pip is shy, she possesses a quiet strength that we all admire. She is a gentle teacher of personal agency; though she is small, she is never afraid to enforce her boundaries. By watching her, our clients learn that being "soft" is not the same as being "weak," and that there is immense power in honoring your own needs.
In her world, healing doesn’t require a loud voice—just a soft purr and the courage to be exactly who you are.
