I was in treatment for a year, and since I am alone in California, it was extremely difficult. Working with the horses and staff there for that year, quite simply, made all the difference in my recovery. The kind, compassionate staff works well with children and adults, and the horses are also very docile. I think this is a wonderful therapy for those who feel embarrassed about being around people during treatment. When I was very ill, the only people I wanted to see were my doctors. Horses do not judge, and they do not care if you are bald and pale. If I had not had that opportunity, I would have surely slipped into deep depression.

"Learning and healing through horses and nature"

El Dustberry Makes a Difference!

El Dustberry is a unique ranch retreat.
Originally located in Topanga Canyon, El Dustberry has now relocated to Rustic Canyon, nestled in the beautiful Santa Monica Mountains in the Pacific Palisades.
El Dustberry’s new home is the Boy Scout’s
Camp Josepho.

Our mission is:  TO PROVIDE A NATURAL ENVIRONMENT, AND THE OPPORTUNITY AND TOOLS TO EMPOWER INDIVIDUALS BY MAKING LIFE ENHANCING CONNECTIONS WITH HORSES, NATURE, OTHERS AND THEMSELVES.

In our fast-paced blur of a lifestyle, life presents itself as a series of challenges- emotional, mental, spiritual and physical.

At El Dustberry we slow the pace down and facilitate a connecting process through the spirit of the horse and through nature.

We  provide a loving, nurturing environment where Gentle and Natural Horsemanship lessons emphasizing bonding, relationship and trust between human and horse, enable individuals and their families to develop patience, focus and the ability to relax and release tension.

A place where people learn about who they are, self-empowerment and their relationship to others and the world around them....
