Erin Cain's life story is defined by a profound affinity for the healing power of horses, a connection that has resonated since her earliest memories. Growing up just outside bustling NYC, horses filled her heart and mind through posters, books, and dreams, though direct physical interaction remained elusive during her childhood. It wasn’t until a fortuitous encounter with a field of horses during an exploration in Connecticut in 1996 that Erin's journey converged with her lifelong passion. The discovery of High Hopes Therapeutic Riding Center ignited her fascination with Equine Therapy, prompting Erin to pursue education and certifications in Therapeutic Riding and Equine Specialties in Mental Health.
Erin has always sensed the profound healing potential within horses, a belief that continues to unfold in ways that deeply resonate with her. The day she brought her first horse home marked a transformative moment, fostering a bond of trust and connection that she now endeavors to share with others. Witnessing firsthand the profound impact of equine companionship on individuals has become a cornerstone of Erin’s journey.
Today, Erin resides amidst the awe-inspiring landscapes of Telluride, Colorado, alongside her beloved son Bo, partner Joe, and their cherished dogs Sam, Luci, and Hank. Together, Erin and Joe are steadfast in their commitment to Equine Therapy programs, as well as their dedication to rescuing and adopting seven wild mustangs: Raven, Bella, Abby, Ruby Liberty, Brigid, and Beautiful Baby Saint Francis. Erin’s life unfolds beautifully as she continues to facilitate healing connections between horses and those whose lives they touch.
