What happens when music, horses, and healing converge?

In this inspiring episode of the ANEW Insight podcast, Dr. Supatra Tovar and Chantal Donnelly sit down with world-renowned singer-songwriter and equine therapy advocate Kiki Ebsen to explore the powerful connection between equine therapy and emotional resilience.

Best known for her luminous music career and humanitarian spirit, Kiki opens up about how her journey as an artist was deeply shaped by her father, Hollywood icon Buddy Ebsen, and how that legacy now fuels her purpose-driven life at the Healing Equine Ranch. Here, she offers a sanctuary where rescued horses and humans co-heal—through presence, partnership, and profound emotional insight.

Listeners will learn how Kiki’s unique approach to natural horsemanship emphasizes mutual respect over dominance, unlocking deep emotional connections between horses and participants. She breaks down the neuroscience behind why horses are such effective co-regulators in trauma-informed therapy and why her ranch focuses on non-verbal communication, mindfulness, and emotional attunement.

But the healing doesn’t stop in the pasture. Kiki shares how her music is both a personal outlet and a therapeutic tool for others—especially those navigating loss, stress, or emotional overwhelm. Her songwriting process is inseparable from her work with animals, blending themes of love, nature, and recovery.
