As a child in school one day, I found myself daydreaming in class. As I gazed out the window, I caught sight of some horses roaming in the distance. I became curious, and quickly my curiosity turned to fascination. The more I watched those distant horses, the more excited I became. Finally, I became so driven that I found myself thinking, “I have to get closer. I need to figure out a way to see them and touch them!”

The day finally came when I found myself up close and personal with those same horses in the open field beside the big red barn. The adventure of a lifetime was just beginning.

I would spend hours at the barns scooping poop in exchange for riding my 1st beloved horse Go-Go Girl. She was my best friend; my confidant and I trusted her with my life. She was such a strong and loyal friend. She greeted me each day with a deep nicker and accepted me regardless of how I was feeling. You see that’s the beauty of the horse. They don’t have any expectations of us. They accept each and every one of us, as we are – no exceptions.

In 2003, I dug deep into my soul and took a leap of faith. I knew if I didn’t follow my heart’s desire, I would never be truly happy and fulfilled. I knew in my heart what I really wanted to do was to bring horses and humans together for healing. That is when Healing Through Horses was born in my mind and soul. It’s now my life’s calling.

In 2007, Healing Through Horses swung the gate open. I have been thrilled to be in service to women ever since! Today, I live in Abiquiu, New Mexico on 14 acres of land with my husband and our herd of amazing horses, dogs, and cats.

Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of guiding and supporting hundreds of women as they embarked on their journey of self-discovery, exploring the unknown and making peace with aspects of their past that have prevented them from living the life they desire.

I would LOVE to include you in that number! Won’t you join me and take your life to the next level?

And remember, horse experience isn’t necessary for you to get the full benefit from one of my Equine Inspired Retreats!

“I would recommend Judy’s sessions, workshops and retreats to anyone looking for deep healing in a beautiful, supportive environment.”

When someone is doing their life’s work, I find that they show up for that work with deep integrity, authenticity and strength, from a place of inner knowing and connection. It is evident from every interaction with Judy, from her heart-centered presence and the ease and safety she creates, that she is right where she is meant to be, fulfilling her dream and empowering others to do the same. Working with those who stand in their truth calls us to ours, and that has been my experience with everyone at Healing Through Horses (including, of course, the amazing horses). My time there has brought me so much clarity, peace and joy.
