Oak Meadows Ranch Equine Therapy
Blue Pearl Project at Oak Meadows Ranch in Wildomar California is building a sanctuary not only for rescued horses but also for people and with some help from you it can be possible.
With money donated it will help complete the grounds for the rescued horses and for those people seeking therapy at Oak Meadows Ranch and of course help feed the rescued horses.
Therapy for people include: Comprehensive treatment for trauma, stress related problems, PTSD, panic, anxiety, grief and addictions, using Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing)
Susan Donaldson, MA, MFT #44168, offering comprehensive treatment for trauma, stress related problems, PTSD, panic, anxiety, grief and addictions, using Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), has teamed up with the Blue Pearl Project Horse Rescue at Oak Meadows Ranch located in Wildomar, California, to assist those in need utilizing the rescued horses at Oak Meadows Ranch.
Susan Donaldson, has been treating trauma and stress related problems for 13 years. She is Certified in EMDR and is now a Consultant In Training. She is also Certified in Equilateral (Equine Assisted EMDR) and by EAGALA (The Equine Assisted Growth and Learning Association).
Oak Meadows Ranch and Susan offer use of the ranch and their services to other Therapists asking the question:
Are any of your clients stuck? Consider referring them for EAP and/or EMDR to augment their therapy with you. EAP is experiential and encourages ‘ah ha’ moments. It promotes relaxation, being in the moment, good boundaries, self-awareness and other important skills.
EMDR promotes the healing of traumatic memories and facilitates changes in associated distorted self- beliefs to adaptive ones.
Team-building, and other relational skills are available to enhance relationships for businesses, couples and families using Equine Assisted Learning (EAL).
On a weekly basis Susan will be offering sessions, groups and workshops to those in need, including our Veterans, Police, Firefighters and all others needing help from traumatic situations or needing help in recovery from substance abuse at Oak Meadows Ranch.
Equine Therapy has been utilized since Roman times to help soldiers recover from wounds both mental and physical. Horses can sense a person’s needs and will appropriately offer comfort, confrontation or a reaction which mirrors a person’s intentions or emotion. This equine feedback enables change and healing for the soul.

About Blue Pearl Project
Blue Pearl Project is a Non Profit 501c3 horse rescue, sanctuary, rehabilitation, placement for horses and helping people. We are an all breed horse rescue. Our Mission is to give equines a much needed "Second Chance." We help with all aspects of rescue, Thoroughbred rescue and retirement - abuse, neglect, owner surrender, auction purchase to help stop slaughter for human consumption, rehabilitate, train and help place horses in loving homes. We are also very active in education and community involvement.
Money donated to this fund will be used for saving the lives of horses from slaughter, for shelter, care and feeding horses. Even a $5.00 donation makes a difference to help buy bags of feed, hay, winter blankets, medications, supplies, Farrier, Vet care and rescue more horses! The more that donate even $5.00 the more it helps the thousands of unwanted retired thoroughbred race horses, unwanted horses because of the economy and horses that are sick or abused.
Our country was built on the back of horses. The horses helped us into battles, traveled with us across the country. Horses are the symbol of American and independence.
More than 100,000 American horses are sent to slaughterhouses in Canada and Mexico. These horses are slaughtered for human consumption overseas, in countries like France, Belgium, Italy, and Holland. Slaughter is the "dirty secret." Most do not know, or would rather not know, about horse slaughterhouses. But we owe it to the horses to learn and know it does exist horses are being used for human consumption.
Horses bound to slaughter must endure cruelty which begins before they even get to the slaughter facility. Most of the horses are bought by "killer buyers" at auctions held weekly all around the country. These horses end up with the killers, sometimes called "horse brokers". Most stolen horses also end up going to slaughter. The killers travel to these auctions until they have a large enough load to transport to the slaughter facility. Usually beginning at the auctions the horses are denied food and water. They are then herded into double-decker cattle trucks. These trucks are not designed for horses, they are much too low, and many times the horses cannot lift their heads to help them balance during the ride. This causes many of them to fall down. The conditions in the trucks can be horrifying to horses crammed together, fighting, kicking, freezing cold or boiling hot temperatures, and travel times of up to 28 hours without stopping. Horses arrive at the facility missing eyes, with broken legs, trampled, and even dead. Upon their arrival, they are herded into the slaughterhouse. Here the true terror begins for these horses. They are prodded into the "kill box" where they are bludgeoned on the head with a captive bolt gun which shoots a spike into their forehead, or a poorly aimed gunshot to the head, or as in Mexico, stabbing with a small sharp knife which severs the spinal cord. Many times the workers miss and have to repeat the procedure over and over. Supposedly stunned horses are then strung up by one foot to be bleed out. Some are not stunned at this point and will actually drown in their own blood. From here the slaughter process proceeds.
Slaughter is not, and should never be considered, a humane way to end a horses life. It is cruel, vicious, and terrifying for the horses.
Slaughter is not, and never should be considered, an alternative for responsible horse owners. Slaughter alternatives include Euthanasia or the Donation of the horse to a Horse Rescue or a new and loving home.
