Who We Are

Upper Canyon Outreach is a Montana-based foundation helping people heal physiological, psychological, and emotional wounds through the development of horsemanship skills. Participants – from veterans, children, and teens to executives and even seniors looking for enhanced fulfillment – harness neural pathways, learning to apply these new wellness skills to daily life, mental well-being, authentic connection, family, leadership, and work.

Why Horses?

Working with horses in an intentional manner has been found to benefit those suffering from mental health difficulties, such as depression and anxiety, by providing a safe and non-judgmental environment. Equine therapy is used to help people process traumatic experiences in their lives, learn strategies for managing difficult emotions and increase self-awareness. Most importantly, working with horses allows people to build authentic connections.

Who We Support

We aim to support participants to harness their neural pathways, and learning to apply these new wellness skills to daily life, mental well-being, authentic connection, family, leadership, and work. The goal is to offer a process and means to reset to progress and move forward toward individual fulfillment.

Providing our military with a unique path to recovery and resilience.

TESTIMONIALS

“Every service member should attend the course. It’s one of the most profound experiences I’ve received in my 20+ yrs with the military. You’ll acquire essential knowledge, hone new skills and implement unique methods towards living a more fulfilled life.”

“Got Your Six made me more confident with the horses, and in my personal and work life! Upper Canyon was a great place to jump start my healing with the help of the horses, Cassie, and my fellow veterans.”

“I have participated in two “Got Your 6 Program.” The program Cassie has put together is outstanding. She has a way of using horsemanship skills to learn about yourself. The big takeaway for me was staying in the present and understanding when to put pressure on and when to take pressure off. Both have helped me understand myself plus how to deal with others. I highly recommend this course, you may even shed a tear. “

“The Got Your Six course by Upper Canyon Outreach is one of the most amazing and transformative experiences I have ever had. The self-understanding and growth that is possible through working with horses is truly incredible. The facilities and staff at Upper Canyon Outfitters, especially the founder Cassie Ubaldo, are the best of the best. I can’t recommend this program enough!”
