Equine Therapy in Kenosha
Equine Therapy in Kenosha for Emotional Growth and Healing
At First Light Equine Therapy, we believe that true healing begins when people reconnect with themselves, others, and nature. That’s why we offer equine therapy in Kenosha, guided by the internationally recognized EAGALA model. Located in nearby Salem Lakes, our nonprofit organization provides a peaceful, supportive space where horses help individuals, families, and groups explore emotions, gain self-awareness, and build confidence through hands-on, ground-based sessions.
Discover the Power of Equine-Assisted Therapy
Equine therapy in Kenosha offers a unique approach to emotional and personal growth. Unlike traditional talk therapy, our sessions take place on the ground, allowing horses to move freely and respond authentically to participants. Their natural sensitivity mirrors human emotions, helping clients recognize patterns, improve communication, and experience moments of clarity that lead to lasting change.
Many clients also find that the physical connection with horses supports overall well-being. From lowering stress to boosting confidence, the movement and mindfulness involved in each session create a deep sense of calm and empowerment.
Our Mission at First Light Equine Therapy
Our mission is to help people see themselves in a new light. Horses are remarkable partners in this process. Their instincts and behavior often reflect human energy and emotion, helping uncover patterns that may go unnoticed in daily life. Each session is designed to foster awareness, growth, and emotional healing, empowering clients to embrace their strengths and move forward with renewed confidence.
Guided by Experience and Compassion
First Light Equine Therapy is led by founder and certified EAGALA practitioner, Brenda Compher. With decades of hands-on experience working with horses, Brenda combines professional expertise with genuine compassion. Her continued EAGALA certification every two years ensures that clients receive care rooted in the latest therapeutic practices. Through her lifelong journey with horses, Brenda has come to understand how deeply they reflect human emotion, and she brings that insight to every session to help others find healing and self-understanding.
Community, Volunteers, and Support
As a nonprofit, First Light Equine Therapy thrives through community support. Volunteers play an essential role in caring for our horses and maintaining the farm, gaining meaningful experiences in return. Whether feeding horses, cleaning stalls, or assisting with events, every helping hand makes a difference.
Donations are equally impactful. Each contribution provides essential feed, medical care, and shelter for our herd, allowing us to continue offering transformative equine therapy to the Kenosha community and beyond.
