About Judy Weston-Thompson, MFT, CEIP-MH

As my riding skills developed over several years, I began noticing that my affinity for horses far exceeded my desire to become an excellent rider. My passion for riding included having a strong connection to whatever horse I had chosen (or had chosen me) and I was forming partnerships with my horses. Thus, the love of riding had extended to the love of horsemanship. Experiencing my own healing bond with horses combined with my love of doing psychotherapy, it seemed natural to combine the two. However, good ideas take time to evolve. I needed to study the field of EFP and all its components, including the nature of horses and their exquisite power to heal. It was helpful to experience owning several horses and to learn unique lessons from each.

My goal has always been to develop an equine therapeutic practice that allows people of all ages and issues, whether reluctant or excited, to embrace this profound experience. I invite you to share my passion in this journey of connecting to our higher selves.

WRANGLING
Another beneficial experience I was fortunate to have was to wrangle at a guest ranch in Wyoming in September, 2008. Previously, I had enjoyed many summers as a guest, riding for hours on the trails of the Big Horn Mountains, yet nothing compared to riding out at dusk every morning to round up 180 horses! I also enjoyed the opportunity to interact with and guide guests on the trails and tend to the horses.
