meet The healing herd
Zoe, EGCM®
Zoe is a young entrepreneur in the business of helping people heal with her equine co-coaches. She was born and raised in Colorado where she still resides. Zoe began working with horses at the age of 13, although she knew she was meant to be working with them many years before that. In high school Zoe discovered Equine Gestalt Coaching as a client and learned the true healing and growth that can come from the work and decided to make it her career. She is one of the youngest to ever graduate from the Touched By a Horse Equine Gestalt Coaching Method program and become a Certified Equine Gestaltist. As of January 2023 she will be deepening her education in Gestalt on her journey to become a Master Gestaltist by December 2024.
Kort
Kort (Cortez Kid Amin) is a 2008 bay Arabian gelding standing at 15 hands. He has many talents in and out of the coaching ring. Together Kort and Zoe have competed in 4H, show-jumping, dressage, and gymkhanas. They continue to compete in show jumping and the occasional dressage show or gymkhana. Kort was the first to join the herd in September 2016 and began his healing work with Zoe when she was an equine gestalt coaching client. Kort partners with Zoe for Equine Gestalt sessions as well as ground work lessons.
Boq
Boq (The Mighty Munchkin) is a 2008 paint welsh cross pony standing at 12.3 hands who joined the herd in July 2019. It was love at first sight between Boq and Zoe when she saw him across the parking lot and knew he had to be hers. In the past Boq was in various jumping rings and even took part in fox hunting. Boq coaches in Equine Gestalt Coaching in addition to working with our equestrian students learning horsemanship and riding.
Charlie
Charlie (Mr. Charles) is a 2016 paint mini standing at 36 inches tall (9 hands). He joined the herd in February 2020 when he and Boq immediately bonded upon meeting, they have been attached at the hip since. Charlie joined the herd young and with little training, after over a year of learning from Boq and Zoe he has become a wonderful healer and teacher. Charlie partners in Equine Gestalt Coaching and helping equestrian students learn basic horsemanship and horse care.
Eve
Eve (Playboys Queen N Mink) is a 2013 palomino paint mare standing at 14.3 hands. She joined the herd as our first mare in September of 2021. Eve is introverted, insightful, and a powerful healer. She has a background in western riding and reining and a passion for assisting humans on their paths to healing, wholeness, mindfulness, and harmony. Eve partners in gestalt coaching and riding lessons.
Mia
Mia is our newest addition to the family and soon to be a part of our healing herd. Mia was adopted from Rezdawg rescue and is in training to become a solid citizen at the barn and eventually will join in on Gestalt sessions.
Mikko
Mikko Dobby was a November 2022 puppy who joined the Healing herd in March of 2023. He was a mixed breed rescue that met Zoe at the 2023 Rocky Mountain Horse Expo and it was love at first sight.
Mikko was the best barn dog and assistant to Zoe and the horses in Gestalt sessions, offering support and comedic relief with his goofball personality. Unfortunately a neurological disorder caused his life to end way too soon in August 2023. He gave and received the most love a pup ever could in his short time with us on earth.
