Willow Ranch, Equine Assisted Counseling

05/23/2026

This Memorial Day, we honor and remember the military service members who gave their lives in service to our country, and we hold space for the lasting impact carried by many veterans and their families. 🇺🇸❤️🐴

In this new Health Campaign video, veterans courageously share their stories and how connection with horses helped them find a way through, even when nothing else was working.

At Willow Ranch Equine Assisted Counseling, we’re proud to offer mental health and wellbeing services incorporating horses for veterans and their families in our community. With your support, more people can access this work when they need it most.

We’re excited to share we received two $1000. Spark Good local grants from two of our local Walmarts. Because of their support we can continue providing Equine Assisted Learning and Equine Assisted Counseling to individuals in our community who are navigating trauma, anxiety, grief and life challenges.

Your investment helps ensure that healing remains accessible for those who need it most. Donations support the individuals we serve, care for our herd and will make a lasting impact.

🌿 Today, Willow Ranch Equine was grateful to welcome back Goodwill Central Oklahoma for another meaningful Equine Assisted Learning experience. 🐴💚

Through hands-on activities with our herd, the team explored leadership, teamwork, communication, trust, and wellness in a unique and experiential way. Horses have a powerful ability to mirror authenticity and connection, reminding us that healthy relationships and strong teams are built through consistency, empathy, encouragement, and trustworthiness.

At Willow Ranch, we believe the strength of connections in relationships can be a defining factor in the journey of life. Unity, loyalty, genuineness, persistence, and support are all principles woven into both herd dynamics and human relationships. 🌱

teaches us that moving forward together with awareness and encouragement creates stronger individuals, healthier workplaces, and more connected communities.

We are thankful for organizations like Goodwill Central Oklahoma that invest in the growth and well-being of their teams. ✨

Mother’s Day can bring joy, gratitude, grief, longing, or complicated emotions — sometimes all at once. During Mental Health Awareness Month, we want to honor every woman and every story. 🙏

To the mothers, the grieving mothers, those longing to be mothers, those missing their moms, those navigating strained relationships, and those carrying silent pain… you are seen, valued, and not alone. ☀️

At Willow Ranch Equine Assisted Counseling, we believe healing happens when people feel safe enough to be honest about both joy and hurt. Horses have a way of meeting us right where we are — without judgment, pressure, or words.

Today, may we choose compassion for ourselves and others.

🌿 On May 8, 2026, we were honored to welcome this amazing team from Goodwill back to Willow Ranch for their second Equine Assisted Learning experience focused on teamwork, leadership, communication, and wellness. 🐴💬

Through hands-on experiential learning with our herd, the team explored the importance of trust, empathy, problem-solving, and healthy connection in the workplace. Horses have a unique way of reflecting authentic leadership and reminding us that strong teams are built through awareness, collaboration, and support.

“Herd mentality” took on a whole new meaning as we learned and grew side by side — both with these incredible animals and one another. We are grateful for organizations like Goodwill that prioritize the well-being and growth of their teams. 💚
