Meet Our Facilitating Team
Darcy Woessner, CES
Founder & Executive Director
Darcy grew up riding and competing horses, then left for other pursuits as a young adult. Darcy holds an MBA in International Business and has worked for large multinationals like Michelin Tire Corporation and Colgate-Palmolive. She has also worked as a marketing and development consultant in both for-profit and nonprofit sectors.
During a period of professional soul-searching, Darcy returned to her passion for horses. It was at this time that Darcy came across the horse, now known as Reeses, who could no longer be ridden due to an untreated injury and found her in desperate need of care. Rescuing and rehabilitating Reeses strengthened Darcy's long-time belief that horses are powerful healers, and together Reeses and Darcy founded Project Horse in 2008.
In addition to running the organization, Darcy is very involved with client services. She is an EAGALA-certified Equine Specialist and co-facilitates many individual and group programs. Darcy is currently in the certification process as an Equine Specialist in Trauma Focused-Equine Assisted Psychotherapy™. Darcy also leads the Mobile Minis™ community outreach programs off-site. Darcy and Fiona Fudge, one of the Mobile Minis™ team, have appeared on NBC News Channel 4 and ABC/News Channel 8's The Pet Show with Dr. Katy.
