2026 Year of the Fire Horse
The Fire Horse represents strength, courage, transformation, and power to rise after hardship. It is the energy of breaking free from what has held you back and stepping into who you were always meant to be.
At Gaits of Hope, this symbol reflects the journeys we witness every day- people releasing old patterns, reclaiming their voice, and discovering a renewed sense of purpose and hope.
It's the year of the Fire Horse and at Gaits of Hope, it is the year of rising!
We have partnered with Newport Academy & Institute, Camp Bliss, Veteran Valor Farm, Camp Gratitude, The Waters Church, Military Network, The Eagles Healing Nest & the 5 counties surrounding St Cloud Human services.
We utilize a professional, evidence-based approach to mental, emotional, and behavioral health through guided equine sessions. Our unique methods are designed to be life-changing for individuals facing trauma, PTSD, addictions, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and Autism and reducing these symptoms by 70%.
Since 2016, we have positively impacted over 1,100 individuals, including veterans and women in workshops. We have also provided support and healing to various organizations.
Meet
Jodine Adelman
Founder & Lead Facilitator
With a deep understanding of emotional patterns, human behavior, and intuitive wisdom of horses, Jodine guides individuals toward meaningful, lasting healing. Her work is grounded in compassion, awareness, and the belief that true transformation happens when people feel seen, safe, and supported.
People don't come to Gaits of Hope just to spend time with horses. They come because something inside them is tired, hurting, or searching.
They leave feeling lighter, clearer, and empowered.
