Desert Sky Equine Connection Non-Profit-501c3
I'm Angie Given Smith, founder and an EAGALA Certified Equine Specialist.

I collaborate with Mental Health Professionals along with my herd of 6 horses to offer Equine Assisted Psychotherapy on my serene 5 acre ranch in Washington, Ut. I am Angie Given Smith, the founder of Desert Sky Equine Connection, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and a lifelong resident of this community. As an EAGALA Certified Equine Specialist, I am dedicated to offering individuals the unique opportunity to engage in Equine Assisted Services. My work is centered on helping people connect with their inner selves and experience personal growth through meaningful interactions with horses. By providing these experiences, we aim to empower individuals to overcome challenges, build confidence, and enhance their overall well-being in a supportive and nurturing environment.

🦄 Sometimes, you just need to have a little fun!

While working with our teens this week, we decided not to take life too seriously and let a little unicorn magic into the arena! ✨

But all jokes aside, this boy truly is a unicorn. He has a special way of offering kindness, compassion, and support to everyone who spends time with him.

At Desert Sky Equine Connection, we’re reminded every day that horses have a way of meeting us exactly where we are and giving us what we need most. Sometimes, that’s a little laughter, sometimes it’s comfort, and sometimes it’s simply knowing we’re not alone. 🐴

🇺🇸 Veterans & Military Members — We Still Have Spots Available!

Do you or someone you know serve in the military or are a veteran who might benefit from a different approach to mental wellness?

Our Frontline Equine Connection group is still welcoming participants!

Sometimes, healing doesn’t happen sitting on a couch talking about what you carry. Sometimes, it happens in the quiet presence of the herd, in the space to just be, and in the connections that words can’t always explain.

🐴 No previous horse experience is needed.
❤️ The cost is covered for each participant.

If you or someone you know might benefit from this experience, we’d love to hear from you. Reach out today to learn more and reserve a spot.

🐴 When one of the old men in the herd wants to stop and graze, you take the time. 💚

Sometimes, life is about slowing down, being present, and enjoying the simple things. Kind of like stopping to smell the roses… or in their case, the grass. 🌿

A little reminder from the herd at Desert Sky Equine Connection that we don’t always have to be in a hurry. ✨

🌅 The last night of our Women’s Group…

We spent our evening with the horses, watched the sunset, and took a beautiful hike back from the river — soaking in the quiet moments, the connection, and everything this group has shared together. 🤍🐴

There’s something special about ending one chapter surrounded by the herd and beginning to look forward to what’s next.

Our current groups may be wrapping up, but new groups are just beginning! ✨

Take a look at all of our upcoming equine therapy groups and find the one that speaks to you.

We’d love to have you join us. 🐴🌵
Check out our schedule and reach out today to see if you qualify to attend at no cost to you!!

We hear so much about the negatives of young adults, but honestly, my experience with this group has been overwhelmingly positive.

Watching them connect with the horses has reminded me just how much good, kindness, and potential there is in this generation.

I’m grateful I get to witness it firsthand. 💛🐴
