The Magic of the Three Sisters Mountains, "Faith, Hope and Charity", embraces the special needs horses of
Paso by Paso Equine Rehabilitation.
Horses forgotten or unwanted, often owners unable to cope.
Yet in the horses eyes, there is living Hope .
With a little magic and Faith to believe,
Charitable humans bring the horses a reprieve.
For our kindness and Charity our hearts do grow,
and the horses "healing Spirit" we begin to know.
Paso by Paso, which means "Step by Step”, is a Charitable Non-Profit Organization serving our community. We rehabilitate horses in a "step by step" herbal, all natural approach program. Our dedication is to "special needs" horses. Most can no longer serve in a "useful capacity" but, can live a comfortable life with the approach our program uses. We strive to set an example of respect to "all life forms". Our participating youth often relate to these horses who have fallen "victim" to a busy and sometimes insensitive society. The horses' recovery is inspiring to all. Paso by Paso is a healing place!
“"No one is truly disabled except in their mind! The horse has the incredible Spirit to show us that."”
Linda
What we do...
We address each horse with specific Herbal supplements, Homeopathy and Physical Therapy. We all work on a volunteer basis with care to provide a comfortable and quality life for these worthy horses. We charitably assist others with Equine health recovery. Our goal is to prevent illness and neglect through education.
Our approach is non-invasive. Only natural herbs (which horses sought in the state of freedom they were designed to live within) are used to recover these horses. We are specifically dedicated to the Peruvian Paso horse because of his unique lateral movement which benefits the human body in a soothing gentle side to side movement.
We have educated ourselves on foot care and advocate barefoot trimming. We have experienced the blessings of the "greatest of Teachers" (the horse themselves, once painfully lame), enabling us to trim horses successfully to soundness without pain.
Our Mission...
To charitably assist in the recovery of equines. To assist owners who have sought help in keeping their animals pain-free. To maintain a few horses as permanent residents of Paso by Paso because their usefulness to children and adults is endless. The hardships these animals have endured with dignity and perseverance enlightens, inspires and educates us all. Children often find the greatest comfort, inspiration and education from these "special needs" horses. Connecting special needs youths with our special needs horses is central to our mission. Not able to ride does not mean unworthy. The horses are our best teachers and relate to children who often feel "forgotten" in today’s hectic world.
Our Goals and Direction...
To educate the public on natural methods of good horse husbandry. Present difficulties facing horse owners today with alternatives to lifetime owning and effective care without excessive expense.
To bring awareness of successful use of Homeopathic and Herbal Therapy in seminars and classes which give equine owners options for recovery.
To publish newsletters with documented cases of recovery using Herbal
Operating Policies...
Horses accepted by Paso by Paso must meet the special needs (charitable) category with illness that can no longer be addressed by owners. Some have earned retirement but sadly, their owners are unable to provide it.
We intend to teach values in this as , the horse when no longer able to be ridden is not to become an object of abandonment. Not unlike humans, his life has much to offer us beyond that of being a servant. Our charity operates with respect to ALL forms of life. These special needs horses have much to teach us.
We operate with a commitment to education prevention of cruelty.
THE TENDER INNOCENCE OF A CHILD HEALS THE BROKEN HEART OF AN ABUSED HORSE
"Paso by Paso is dedicated to my first Peruvian Horse, Monteraz MSR, who, gave me his Spirit when I had none. And, to my niece, Tanya Fisher whose disabilities humbly inspire me to seek and share the healing powers of the horse.
Inspired by the virtues of the Three Sisters Mountains, Faith, Hope & Charity, our small rehabilitation center is designed for disabled special needs horses.
Here we have the blind Faith to believe the horse can get well, be able to see the Hope that exists in the horses eyes (no matter how bad the horse looks) and, have a human heart full of Charity to help the horses of Paso by Paso Equine Rehabilitation and Educational Program."

Our Vision...
In 1995, Linda Leigh Daniel faced surgery from car accidents, suffered twenty-three years before surgeons told her she would never ride a horse again. While awaiting surgery, she discovered an aged Peruvian Paso that was facing slaughter. His stresses in life had rendered him “useless” (no longer able to be ridden). The relationship they shared began the purpose and need for Paso by Paso. Thus began the affection for the Peruvian Paso horse whose unique gaits, brio* provide physical & spiritual healing which medications, Doctors and Therapists often can not.
(brio* “A willingness to please”)
