During the last 9 years, Evanescent Mustangs grew into one of the largest mustang focused rescues, helping over 1,000 at risk mustangs and burros across the U.S. As founder and Executive Director of the rescue, and as a Licensed Professional Counselor, Candace's dream was to help families in Texoma heal alongside rescued mustangs and burros through Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy. Over the last few years, more rescues began focusing on helping mustangs so we have been able to go back to the beginning; helping mustangs, burros, and humans in our community. We have created two special therapeutic programs to offer a deeper level of healing for humans and equine: Mustangs & WarHorses for Veterans/1st Responders and Jessi's Promise for youth. Our goal is to be able to offer these programs to any and all who apply at no cost to the participants!!!
MUSTANGS & WARHORSES... where Veterans and First Responders are partnered with Mustangs that are able to help each other heal. M&W is a specialized Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy (EFP) program for Texoma Veterans and 1st Responders. This experiential therapeutic group is a collaboration with Texoma Line Counseling offering a 5 week program with 90 minute sessions creating a powerful experience for participants. Rather than talking one-on-one with a therapist in an office, this program offers an outdoor setting combining trauma-focused psychotherapists and rescued Evanescent Mustangs & Burros. Each of the equine in our program are at different levels of healing in order to help participants no matter what level of trauma they start the program with.
JESSI'S PROMISE... We believe that all kids should know the love of a horse. We offer a safe space, showing kindness and patience while pairing teens with mustangs that can teach connection and healing at a much deeper level.
Evanescent Mustang Rescue continues to help rescue at-risk mustangs and burros, many of which will be placed in other therapeutic programs throughout Texoma! We appreciate everyone that has been with us from the beginning and welcome any new supporters that would like to join us in this cause of promoting healing in our community and across the nation!
Evanescent Mustangs is dedicated to the rescue, rehab, and rehoming of at risk mustangs and burros in the greater Texoma area. Permanent residents at the sanctuary in Sherman, TX offer assistance in the healing of 1st Responder and Veteran families through Mustangs & WarHorses, an Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy program in collaboration with Texoma Line Counseling, a group of dedicated therapists who were previously 1st Responders or Veterans themselves.
We are always in need of hay, feed and protein tubs, but this year we are also needing more panels and materials for shelters as we continue moving forward with our Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy programs!
