U R Herd is an Equine-Assisted Mental Health Counseling and Learning service based at Magic Meadow in New Orleans, having rescue horses as part of our team.

Equine-Assisted Therapy and Learning offers countless benefits. For many people, especially those who may not feel comfortable with traditional talk therapy, this approach provides a powerful and accessible alternative. By stepping out of the traditional classroom and into nature, our learning programs help calm the mind, making it easier to connect, reflect, and grow.

While Equine-Assisted programs are recognized globally - particularly through the EAGALA model - U R Herd is the only service offering this unique approach to mental health in New Orleans.

At U R Herd, we bring horses in to help us learn and heal hearts and minds. We are committed to making our services available to everyone, regardless of economic, cultural, or social
background.

Our mission is to support youth and families in overcoming generational trauma, building confidence, and developing lifelong skills. The ripple effect of this healing can transform communities
- imagine our young people and families feeling empowered, peaceful, and thriving.
