💜 A heartfelt update from Pastures Of Hope 💜

This has been a difficult season. Between the stress and uncertainty surrounding my health, the loss of my beloved Lance, and having to close for the summer, there has been a lot to carry. Stepping away from work that means so much to me was hard, even though I knew the pause was necessary.

Being back at the barn has brought moments of hope. We’ve had two wonderful sessions, and I am deeply grateful to everyone who has continued to support Pastures Of Hope through it all. Your patience, encouragement, and willingness to return mean more to me than I can express.

Healing is something we make room for here—and this season has reminded me that I need to make room for it, too.

🐴 A schedule update: Our final group in the trust series has been moved to Saturday, October 17, from 10 a.m. to noon. There will be no group on Saturday, October 24.

Thank you for standing beside me and Pastures Of Hope. It means so much to gather again, connect with the horses, and continue this meaningful work together.

With love and gratitude,
Julie 💜

Today we celebrated our first day back at the barn at Pastures of Hope! It felt so good to return, reconnect with the herd, and welcome people back to this special place.

What is equine-assisted psychotherapy? It’s therapy that brings horses into the process through guided, ground-based activities with a mental health professional and an equine specialist. No riding or horse experience is needed.

Working alongside horses gives us opportunities to explore trust, boundaries, communication, emotions, and relationships. Something as simple as approaching a horse or asking for space can open a meaningful conversation about how we move through life.

Thank you for your patience, encouragement, and understanding during my time away and healing. I’m grateful to be back and looking forward to the moments of connection and discovery ahead.

🐴 I’m Coming Back to the Barn! 🐴

I’m so happy to share that I’ll be returning to the barn on the first Saturday in October!

This season of healing has required time, patience, and grace. I am deeply grateful to everyone who has supported me, checked on me, prayed for me, and shown such patience and understanding along the way. Your kindness has meant more than I can express.

The barn—and all that it represents—has always been such a special place of healing, connection, and hope. I’m excited to begin this next chapter and return to the work I love, surrounded by the horses and the wonderful people who make Pastures of Hope so meaningful.

Thank you for walking alongside me. I can’t wait to see you back at the barn! ❤️🐴

To say, I am excited is probably an understatement.
