Maggie is raw feminine power. She is a strong leader and you will often see her directing the other horses. She is very sensitive to energy and wants to be in constant movement. She teaches how to regulate yourself through movement, how to own your leadership and decision-making skills, and how to get into alignment with what you are trying to achieve.

Did not race. Arrived with injury and other health issues.
Safety was the first horse in the program and is famous for saying yes to Eurico upon being invited to join. Safety is very communicative and will nod yes to questions. He’s a strong teacher of choice, vocalization and expression of preferences, and is incredible at mirroring. He has a very solid, grounded feel to him and his presence imparts feelings of safety.

Lucky is sleek and quick and he loves to communicate through movement and energy. He’s a very energy-based horse and his presence feels light, buzzing, fast, and fluid.

Gentleman
Full about coming soon.
Gentleman chose his name with us. He is sweet, kind, and as his name suggests, truly gentle. He is a teacher of partnership, how to become more allowing, being in the flow, opening up to receiving, and learning to trust and surrender more deeply.

Hygge feels wise and ancient, almost like he’s from another world. He loves being a teacher and is very enthusiastic and “loud” in getting his messages across. He has a deep sense of what you need and he loves to give it to you in a big way! He’s a strong teacher of boundaries and standing in your power.

Destiny chose his name with us. He carries the wounded healer archetype, and teaches how to turn fate, whatever life places on our path - into destiny, what we consciously choose to create from fate. He teaches about stepping into your power with courage, how to transition through experiences with grace, and absolutely loves cuddles and scratches.
Woody Herd
“In April 2025, when I began training the horses for the Equine Experiential Connection program at LongRun Farm, my mornings always started the same way. As soon as I walked into the barn, I was greeted by a beautiful three-year-old bay horse in the very first stall on the right. His name was Woody.
Every morning, before beginning my training with the other horses, I would spend a little time with Woody. Despite his health challenges, he was full of energy, playful, and eager for connection. He reminded me daily of the strength and spirit that horses carry within them.
Woody suffered from a severe neurological condition, which required special care and strong, expensive medication just to keep him alive. Most of the time he had to stay inside his stall, but even then, his presence brought light and joy to the barn.
On July 7th, everything changed. When I arrived at the farm, Woody wasn’t there to greet me. I learned that his condition had worsened, and he had been taken to the University of Guelph. That day, the heartbreaking decision was made to let him go.
The entire farm was filled with sadness. Woody was so young, yet he had already touched so many lives with his spirit. To honor him, I named the EEC herd Woody Herd — a reminder that his energy, playfulness, and courage will always be with us.
Together, they carry Woody’s legacy forward, helping people heal, connect, and rediscover their own inner strength through the power of horses presence and wisdom.”
