About Cheyenne Equine Therapy
Maryline has been an apprentice at the WildSong Ranch in Longmont since March 2024. Prior to this she was a volunteer at The Tipi Raisers in Lafayette working with 12 wild horses.
Maryline has always been passionate about horses. Their multi-senses always remind her how unlimited they are and perhaps how unlimited we can become.
Her passion for horses is in her DNA. Her French paternal grandfather attended l’Ecole de Saumur in France and he was part of the cavalry army in World War I. Later, he became a veterinarian for horses. Not an easy task during World War II. Her French biological father inherited a different interest for horses: he loved to watch them race and bet on his favorite horse as often as he could.
Maryline loves horses for too many reasons to mention here. She just feels very connected to them at a spiritual and sensorial level. She grew up in France enjoying riding them during the holidays, but she never took lessons to learn the right techniques. Today, Maryline would love to live her dream to find the horse meant for her. But for now, she is leasing a beautiful purebred Arabian horse named Ebony.
Maryline enjoys working and spending her time amongst those incredible creatures that horses are, at WildSong Ranch, where the horsemanship’s philosophy aligns with her ideal vision of the equestrian’s world. She is excited about the learning curve presenting itself in front of her contributing to making her a better horsewoman.
During this past year while working at Wildsong Ranch Maryline developed an interest in getting closer to the horses. She decided in October 2024 to attend the Rocky Mountain School of Animal Acupressure and Massage to obtain her certification in Therapeutic Equine massage. Once she received her theoretical certificate of completion, she had to go through a six week case studies, massaging three different horses each week for six weeks. To receive her final certification, she had to write detailed reports for each horse, reviewed by the school to obtain the 107 hours prescribed course.
