El Dustberry: Our Horses

Our Horses

We have seven beautiful rescue horses at El Dustberry, each with their own story. For example, Rusty and Bowie came from Michael Jackson's "Neverland Ranch." Rusty arrived with trust issues, being frightened of anything being fastened around his belly. Both horses are gentle, sensitive, and responsive to all of our clients. They seem to know that they are carrying precious cargo. Pictured above are Nate and Bowie.

About Us

El Dustberry was founded in 2001 to originally serve cancer patients, people with special needs, and youth at risk. Since its inception, we now provide services for all. El Dustberry is named after the founder's father Elliot, friend Dusty, and cousin Barry, who all lost their lives to cancer. El Dustberry provides equine-assisted therapeutic activities which means we use nature and horses to learn and heal. We have specialized programs for cancer patients, those with autism, ADD, depression and grief, behavioral issues, and more. We teach by using gentle and natural horsemanship and bareback riding, with our rescue horses being the foundation of all our programs. We also do outdoor classrooms for schools and youth groups.
