“When I was 7 years old, our family experienced the unthinkable. My older brother died in a motorcycle accident, and we were unprepared for the many ways that would affect us. Fast forward 37 years, I had no idea how much that event would affect me emotionally and mentally or how fear would creep in subconsciously over the decades, impacting my ways of being on so many levels I did not know otherwise. I could not see its ripple effect on those around me until about 4 months ago. Over the years, I have done reiki, emotion code, yoga, hypnotherapy, and many other modalities to help me process the sadness and some of the grief. About two years ago, in some talk therapy sessions, how this event impacted my communication became known. This was just the tip of the iceberg. Last year my husband and I were seeking solutions to help our youngest daughter work through and process heavy emotions from recovering from a concussion that changed her life significantly for six months. My husband found equine therapy, and we decided to try it. I took her to 3 sessions, which impacted us both, and grateful for the healing that happened for my daughter. But in the 3rd session, little did I know what would happen within myself. I had such HUGE hahas that it busted the iceberg wide open. I knew I needed more, so I signed up for a group 6-week session. It is hard to explain precisely how this works, but I was able to unpack more about my operating systems, behaviors, and habits in the six weeks of group equine sessions than in years of talk therapy. I am beyond grateful for what I learned about myself and the healing from the group equine sessions. I am thankful for the relationships and support I gained in this experience. I highly recommend working with Kaleigh and Broken Wranglers.”

“I learned the way horses go through trauma... It was good to be outside and learn a different way. I learned I can come back from trauma and feel good again... I know being here will help me in my recovery.”

“Last year my heart was full of anger, bitterness, and blaming. My heart was a raging sea when it casts up dirt and mud. But today it is like smooth glass, thanks to Kaleigh Rogers, Daniel Cochran, Marcus Chee, Tom Forrester, and everyone at Hope and Healing... my prayer is that everyone who is hurting and lost find peace with God and peace with yourself. Remembering all my relatives who never made it thus far.”

“Kaleigh is an amazing supervisor and mentor! She truly cares about you as a clinician and the clients you serve. She finds a way to balance ethics, best practices, specific training, and her personal insight into each of her consultations or supervisions you have with her. I always left my meetings with her feeling supported and with increased hope in how I can best work with my clients! When it comes to providers, we often look for providers who will connect with us, have a skill set to best help us, and who will provide a safe, non-judgmental space for us to heal. Kaleigh exhibits all of these and more! You can tell how truly passionate she is in helping others and how much she cares about her clients.”

“I sometimes envy those horses. I am able to resonate with them and their pain and fear. They have a loving, accepting environment where they no longer have to hope for healing- its a fact. They can believe and have faith in their safe space. I can see progress. I cannot see a substitute for what I have learned and understood.”

genuinely cares about the well-being and success of her team members, always making time to listen
and provide guidance. Kaleigh’s empathetic and compassionate approach fosters a sense of trust and
camaraderie among the team, resulting in increased morale and productivity. I was particularly impressed by Kaleigh’s talent for recognizing and developing the potential in others. She possesses a keen eye for identifying individual strengths and talents, and effectively guides team
members to unlock their full potential. Under Kaleigh’s leadership I was able to explore new horizons,
step out of my comfort zone, and achieve remarkable milestones in my professional development.”

“…Healing and triumph… a team of human counselors that bring horses to people that need their wisdom and vulnerability to discover their own paths to wellness. My group’s therapy horse was Boone. His journey to unlearn his mistrust and move toward having a relationship with humans gave each of us something different that we needed. Every session we felt closer to each other and left with new knowledge about ourselves. The connection between humans and horses is powerful and primal [and] have given me back a piece of myself and I’ll always remember Boone and his honest conversations with us. They helped us to become more whole.”
