Equine Therapy, Learn to Ride, and General Horse Care
Equine therapy is a proven method for treating depression and anxiety due to PTSD and mental health issues. By bonding with a horse and allowing their healing powers, individuals can develop a relationship between themselves and their equine therapist finding peace and comfort. This may be the first step towards healing the wounds that we carry with us. At Whispering Sands, we do not charge a fee for any therapeutic treatment for those who have been clinically diagnosed with PTSD.

Paint & Sip with Horses
Delissa taught Paint and Sip classes in Los Angeles for a year and still loves it!
Come join us for an evening of fun painting! Artists will be set up in the arena with horses roaming around. Interact with the horses during your experience painting and having a great time. Bring your own food and drinks for a 2 1/2 hour experience.
A donation of $25 is suggested to pay for the supplies. Any donations that go above and beyond the cost of supplies will go directly towards the care of the horses. This continues to help provide the Equine Therapy Program and will assist in expanding the program with more resources and horses.
