At Zenhorse®, our volunteers are the heart of our mission, bringing their time, energy, and love to support both the mustangs and the people who find healing here. Each person who steps onto the ranch brings a unique story, and we love hearing about the personal journeys that lead them to become part of our herd.
This month, we’re excited to feature Tracy, whose path to Zenhorse® started with a chance conversation with Beckah, one of our Board Members. What began as an intriguing discussion about mustangs and healing turned into a personal journey of connection, growth, and weekly visits to the ranch. Here’s Tracy’s story in her own words.
“I met Beckah by chance one day while I was working. One of the topics that came up in our conversation was how she volunteers at this place called Zenhorse® that saves the lives of wild mustangs. She said they also heal humans by interaction with these horses. I’ve loved horses since I was a little kid, so of course I was intrigued.
After checking out the Zenhorse® website, I decided to see firsthand what this place was about. In April of 2024, I showed up for the Volunteer Day that they offer every month, and I’ve been going back once a week ever since!
It wasn’t just the horses that attracted me to keep coming back; It was also the beautiful, serene setting in nature and the people! Every single person I’ve come across at Zenhorse® is extremely welcoming and friendly. I really look forward to my days at the ranch because it brings me much peace. Whether I’m cleaning out the stalls, interacting with the horses, having great conversations with the people, walking the labyrinth with intention, attending a meditation circle, or just sitting on the bench at the lake listening to the birds and taking in nature, I always feel like home there.
Because of how great this place makes me feel, I’d definitely recommend everyone to come check it out and see for themselves!”
We’re so grateful to have Tracy as part of the Zenhorse® family! Her dedication, kindness, and appreciation for the healing power of this space embody everything we hope to offer to our volunteers and the community.
If Tracy’s story resonated with you, we’d love for you to come experience Zenhorse® for yourself. Whether it’s through volunteering, attending an event, or simply taking a quiet moment in nature, there’s a place for you here. Join us and see what makes Zenhorse® so special!
