Equine Assisted Psychotherapy for kids, teens and adults in Nampa, Idaho
By Sadie Nebeker, LCSW, PLLC
Creating healing, growth and connection through the power of the herd.
Hello, there!
Welcome to Wild Hope Ranch where we offer a different kind of therapy; one that takes place in a pasture with horses who become your partners in the healing process.
This work is gentle, honest, and a deeply grounding process.
Whether you are navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, low self-esteem, shame, grief and loss, or simply feeling stuck, you don't have to figure it out alone.
We are here to help.
What We Offer
Wild Hope Ranch is a place where healing happens through authentic connection—with horses, nature, and yourself. Rooted in the belief that hope doesn't require perfection, our small ranch offers a peaceful, welcoming environment where people can slow down, reconnect with who they are, and discover the courage to grow. Through equine-assisted psychotherapy, compassionate relationships, and the wisdom of the herd, Wild Hope Ranch helps people move from merely surviving to thriving and living with greater awareness, resilience, and hope.

Equine-assisted psychotherapy uses horses in the therapeutic process to create interactive, hands-on learning experiences that are insightful, empowering, and memorable.
Wild Hope Ranch uses the EAGALA model to provide equine-assisted psychotherapy and is ground-based only and does not involve any type of riding.
Through equine-assisted psychotherapy, we support kids, teens and adults in learning emotional awareness, improving self-esteem, and confidence, navigating stress, burnout, and relationships, and healing anxiety, depression, and trauma.
No horse experience is needed to participate in equine assisted psychotherapy.

Owner and Eagala Certified Equine Therapist
There is something incredibly powerful about working with horses. They respond to what we feel, not just what we say, and they create space for honesty, awareness, growth, and connection in a way that feel genuine and authentic. It's truly miraculous to witness the moments when people begin to break free of their barriers, find healing, and reach their goals.
You don't have to stay stuck. Healing and growth are possible, and it can start here.
