Who We Are
The Humans
Jodi Freeman, Certified Equine Gestaltist
I have loved horses all my life and have always felt a deep connection to horses. Growing up, I spent countless hours on my grandparents' farm, often with my grandpa’s farm horses. One of my earliest memories is crawling under the barbed wire at about 3 or 4 years old to sit among them. Even then, I sensed that horses were far more than just farm animals.
I have also always had a heart for helping others, often serving as the "counselor" for friends, family, and students. I hold a Bachelor's in Human Services Administration and a Master’s in Public Administration. Recently, I earned certification as an Equine Gestaltist® under Melisa Pearce, founder of the Equine Gestalt Coaching Method®. This certification has equipped me with proven tools and techniques to support individuals on their journey toward wholeness by addressing past trauma, anxiety, grief, and other emotional health challenges. It allows me to provide emotional support in a unique "arena" compared to many other equine-centered programs, using the power of partnership with my horses to help others heal.

The Horses
Skeeter is a Quarter Horse gelding who is a major emotional "truth detector".
He loves bringing out the best in his clients through his amazing ability to sense our emotions and gently encourage us to focus on the here and now.
Buttercup is joining the Coaching family in 2025. She is a Quarter Horse mare who has been raised by the DreamCatchers family since she was a weanling. We are still learning what her coaching strengths are, and are enjoying watching her grow and mature.
Seeker has retired from most work, embracing a slower pace in the later years of her life. This Quarter Horse mare spent much of her time as a high-energy games horse, racing and collecting prizes. Now, she enjoys a quieter role, helping teens learn the essentials of horse care and deepening their connection with these incredible animals.
Freebird is a Paint mare. She is Jodi's personal horse, and occasionally watches coaching and clients from a distance. She has had her own traumas throughout her life and chooses her boundaries carefully. She may ask for scratches, but please be aware of her fear around having her head and ears touched.
