Episode 303: Erin Cain | Founder of Grace Reins
In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Erin Cain, the owner of Grace Reins, an equine therapy program in Telluride, Colorado. We discussed Erin's journey from New York to Colorado, her love for horses, and how she discovered the transformative power of equine therapy. Erin shared insights about the growing conversation around mental health and the stigma surrounding it. We explored how horses help in grounding, healing, and offering a non-judgmental space for everyone who interacts with them. Additionally, we delved into personal stories of overcoming trauma, the importance of vulnerability, and how different environments can influence our mental and emotional states. We also touched on the broader implications of mental health, societal pressures, and the power of community. It was a heartfelt and enlightening conversation that reinforced the incredible work Erin is doing at Grace Reins and the importance of finding spaces that allow for true emotional and psychological healing.
“We often say that horses act as a mirror—while we rescue them, they rescue us, and together, we create a beautiful healing space.”
