Jody Nixon, Metaphorse Founder & Executive Director
At Metaphorse, each rescued horse represents a story of renewal and purpose. Once forgotten or discarded, these magnificent beings now stand as powerful healers and teachers. Our diverse herd embodies resilience, offering living proof that second chances are not just possible, but transformative. In their gentle eyes and steady presence, our human participants find mirrors of their own potential for healing and growth.
The impact of Metaphorse ripples far beyond our canyon walls. From veterans finding peace to children discovering confidence, each of the 500+ lives we've touched represents a unique journey of transformation. Our participants consistently report reduced anxiety, improved emotional regulation, and enhanced social connections. These individual victories extend to families and communities, creating a cascade of positive change that continues long after the last hoofbeat fades.
At Metaphorse, we bring retired horses and humans together to create lasting, transformative change. Founded on the profound healing potential of the horse- human relationship, we've pioneered innovative approaches to emotional healing, personal development, and therapeutic care

"Horses bring healing that is unequalled in non-judgement, compassion and truly being present for the human that they are connected with. These incredible sentient beings can open doors of awareness that allows you to express your grief, sorrow, uncertainty or joy that you didn't realize was buried deep inside you. With a release comes a sense of peace that encourages you to continue on the path of becoming who you were meant to be. Thank you Metaphorse." - GWEN
"Jody and her team were incredible. Zipper and Shooter came to me immediately and somehow...I honestly don't know, and it's still a mystery to me, but somehow these horses knew more deeply what I had been holding on to than the dozens of therapists I have seen over the years. In that session with Jody's horses and her skillful guidance, I must have released something that felt it went well beyond time and space and it changed me in a profoundly positive way. Thank you, Metaphorse." - KEVIN
"I never knew how precious the energy of horses were until Metaphorse. Jody guided me through each session and made me feel so supported. Buster and Rico immediately came to me and stood there while I cried what felt like years of tears. Softly nuzzling me the whole time. There is magic here at Metaphorse. I hope everyone gets a chance to heal with Jody's horses. There is nothing quite like it anywhere but here." - ANNIE
"I cannot explain what I experienced at Metaphorse with Jody and her healing horses, but I can tell you it was exactly what I needed. In fact, I would say it's precisely what the world needs right now. More than ever, we all have a disconnection to ourselves and the heartbeat of our collective experience here on our little planet. But these magnficient beasts are so tuned in and when you atune to them, there are literally no words to fully capture. Thank you Jody. Thank you Cruiser and Tinkerbell and Apache and Bullseye and Freckles. Your strength is in your gigantic tenderness. A paradox for healing. Highly recommend Metaphorse!" -CHRISTINE
"I met Jody 13 years ago while I was having problems with a difficult mare. She introduced me to natural horsemanship and speaking the horse's language in order to better communicate with them. Little did I know that this would turn into a life long friendship of sharing our passion for horses. Jody has a rare gift of healing both horse and human. Her dedication to teaching others goes beyond the arena and into the workforce. As an employee of our local school district, I place students with disabilities at Metaphorse to experience caring for the horses. Jody teaches these students the skills they need to be successful in their future employment." -CECILLIA
"It's hard to put into words my experience with Jody's incredible horses. I came to Jody in a lost state of mind and needed some deep clarity and understanding. I did a healing therapeutic session with her horses, in their space. The horses right away felt my confusion and struggle and reacted accordingly until I was able to recognize it, say it for what it was and let go of it. The horses shift and start to listen. Protecting me, taking me to tears and putting them into the earth. Standing over me for comfort, shifting their hearts towards mine for support. They listened as I told them my sorrows and pain through my heart. As I was able to release some of the pain, grounding and love came from them. Anchoring at the bottom of my feet, surrounding the crow fo my head and Amos, bowing down to my heart. All their energy, support and love flowing back into me. One of the most beautiful experiences of my life" - SUSAN
