Two Founders with a passion for horses & helping people.
Lindsay Brim and Julie Hester have been holding the leadership reins for Crossroads Corral since 2015. Their dedication to equine therapy has transformed countless lives, providing hope and healing. Together, they continue to drive the mission of promoting personal growth, hope and healing through horses.

Participants can expect to build skills such as:

Sessions are typically 45-60 minutes depending on the exercises and goals of the session. Learn more about our programs or Contact us to book a session today.
Our Story
The seed of inspiration to begin Crossroads Corral was planted in the heart of Julie Hester. Julie, experienced in horsemanship and youth ministry, realized that she needed help to bring her vision into existence. She teamed up with Lindsay Brim, an experienced business professional with a passion for horses and helping others to gallop down the path with her.
Julie and Lindsay received advanced training and earned professional certifications in equine assisted learning (EAL) and equine assisted pyschotherapy (EAP) in late 2014.
The two then co-founded Crossroads Corral in December 2014 and quickly gained speed.
Crossroads Corral opened their gates in April 2015.
