Allie Hammond
Founder, Cast No Shadows Stables
With over 30 years of experience in horsemanship, Allie Hammond has dedicated her life to the healing power of horses. From a young age, Allie developed a deep connection with horses, initially rescuing them and quickly discovering how transformative these magnificent animals could be. As she worked to heal the horses in her care, Allie found that the horses, in turn, helped her heal as well—addressing her past traumas and emotional struggles. Through this profound bond, Allie realized that the transformative power of horses could be shared with others, helping them work through their challenges and find a path to healing.
Allie’s expertise and passion have led her to specialize in therapeutic programs for individuals struggling with PTSD, anxiety, depression, survivors of sexual abuse and domestic violence, children with behavioral difficulties, special needs, and autism. By pairing individuals with horses that mirror their emotional states, Allie facilitates an environment where healing can take place without judgment—just the space and support needed to confront and release deep-seated pain.
Allie’s journey is personal. Growing up in environments where she was often seen as the "problem child," she understood what it felt like to have a shadow cast over her. It was through her first horse that she found solace and strength, as this animal mirrored her own behaviors, allowing her to understand and transform her struggles. Cast No Shadows Stables was born out of that experience—a place where others, like herself, can break free from labels and judgment to heal, grow, and thrive.
At Cast No Shadows Stables, Allie offers individuals the chance to experience a healing bond with horses in a supportive, judgment-free environment. Each person is paired with a horse that best suits their unique emotional needs, guiding them on their path toward healing. Through these powerful equine connections, Allie is fulfilling her mission: to help others break free from their past, embrace their true selves, and find peace.
