The journey of HorseBeats began in 2014, providing equine services out in the pasture of Eagles Wing Ranch, in Zavalla, with our horses there and to other ministries in Angelina County. Tempered by years of planning and prayer, we took a leap of faith and started HorseBeats Equine Assisted Services in March 2025.
Our trauma informed care approach is rooted in compassion and recognizes the powerful human/horse connection and the therapeutic benefits of interactions with horses. This connection, along with our core values, guides every aspect of our work.

At our core, we provide equine services to at risk youth, human trafficking survivors, people in crisis and individuals who struggle with the affects of trauma/complex trauma or PTSD. We also provide equine services for those with other mental health and emotional issues as well as behavioral concerns.
At HorseBeats Equine Assisted Services we are dedicated to bringing hope and healing to individuals and families in and around Angelina County while contributing to the foundation of a stronger community.
