Ashley Geary - Licensed Clinical Social Worker

I enjoy working with you and coming up with solutions to build self-esteem and self-confidence. Having a solid base of who your are and what you stand for is really important to manage anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns. If you have the skills needed to be confident in yourself, you don't need to find validation from others to build you up. I don't believe any person is 'broken' and many clients I have worked with quickly find solutions to rebuild their world from hurt and stress.

My main approach to therapy is to allow you to manage your own treatment. I feel like I am here as a guide and can help work through stress, borderline personality disorder, women's issues, anxiety, depression, and many other facets of treatment; but I like to let the client remain in charge and seek out their own success rather than me giving it to them.

Together we can create a step by step plan to increase your self-care, set boundaries, reach your goals and improve your self-worth. Using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can identify how your perceptions and beliefs about yourself and the world around you is impacting your behavior.

I have worked several years in addiction and mental health. I have found that despite the choices people have made, it's all about finding ways to cope with stress, negative situations, and learning to balance life. I can help, let me show you how. Lets find hope together.

Samantha Booy Draney - Equine Specialist

I obtained my Bachelor of Science in Equine Studies with an emphasis in Equine Management from Asbury University near Lexington, Kentucky. I am certified in EAGALA (a world renown equine therapy organization) and EquiLateral: The Equine Assisted EMDR Protocol (EA-EMDR) as the Equine Specialist.

From 2016 to 2020, I served as the Equine Manager at a residential treatment center. I fully enjoyed working alongside clients in their therapeutic process with horses. Not only did I oversee the daily care, health and upkeep of 71 to 103 horses as the Equine Manager, but I also co-lead the equine therapy sessions, instructed Parelli Natural Horsemanship and developed/taught an accredited equine course. In addition, I led an equine safety courses for clients and staff.

In August of 2018, I bought the property now known as TriStar Ranch LLC. Since purchasing the ranch, I have been developing the property to provide a scenic and therapeutic atmosphere to hold outpatient equine therapy. I have a sincere and deep-rooted passion to help people and my goal is to make a difference in as many lives as possible.

I believe that when horses are used in therapy, they have a natural truth and healing that can be applied to many of our emotional and relationship challenges. My approach is to assist and help navigate individuals and groups to develop healthy and successful personal relationships by learning through horses. The clinical aspect of well- being is only enhanced by the therapeutic horse connection.

 We focus our therapy services on two general needs in our community:
1) Strengthening family relationships and 2) Healing from trauma. We strive to help families heal, communicate, and increase love and support in their relationships. In treating trauma, we strive to help individuals and families cope with and recover from the effects of abuse and other crimes. We provide individual counseling, marriage and family therapy, and a wide array of group therapy and workshops. We welcome military and refugee families and are able to provide services in Spanish and English, as well as other languages with the assistance of interpreter services. For qualified victims of crime, we can provide additional advocacy and assistance.

Karlee Parks
Scheduling and Operations Coordinator

Hi, I’m Karlee Parks. I’ve spent nearly 17 years riding, competing, and developing horses, and I come from seven generations of horsemen and trainers. Horsemanship has always been a way of life for me. I grew up training and selling my own horses while competing in 4-H, rodeoing through junior high and high school, and placing in multiple queen contests.

Today, I focus on reined cow horse. My husband and I train and compete on our own horses, and a recent highlight of mine was winning the Ranch Versatility Limited Non-Pro Futurity in 2025.

As the Scheduling & Operations Coordinator at Tri Star Ranch, I help keep things organized and running smoothly behind the scenes. I manage bookings for arena rentals, clinics, and special events while helping riders, boarders, and visitors make the most of what Tri Star Ranch has to offer. With a background in the equine industry and a passion for horsemanship, I enjoy connecting people with opportunities to learn, ride, and grow in the horse community.

Suzannah Bridge
Riding Instructor

Hi, I’m Suzannah Bridge! As a first-generation horsewoman, I have a deep passion for horses and an even greater passion for sharing that love with others. I’ve been riding for 17 years and am currently pursuing a degree in Equine Science and Management at Utah State University, along with certificates in Equine Assisted Services and Equine Reproduction.

Throughout my years in the saddle, I’ve had the opportunity to learn from a variety of instructors and trainers, developing skills and experience across multiple disciplines, from English riding and jumping to western horsemanship and reining. I grew up riding English before transitioning to western riding in high school and began competing in queening and speed events and now I am currently on the USU western equestrian team. These experiences have given me an appreciation for the many different styles of riding and the unique skills each discipline has to offer.

I believe that good horsemanship is the foundation of every successful rider, regardless of discipline. Understanding the horse, developing feel, building confidence, and learning clear communication are essential skills that carry over into every aspect of riding. This philosophy is at the heart of how I teach. I also believe that learning never stops, and that becoming a good horseman or horsewoman means always being willing to grow, learn, and refine your skills.

My goal as an instructor is to equip each student with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to become capable, independent riders. I work with students of all ages and experience levels, tailoring lessons to their individual goals while fostering a positive learning environment built on growth, horsemanship, and a strong partnership with the horse.

At the end of the day, there is nothing more rewarding to me than sharing the joy of horses and watching others grow in confidence, skill, and appreciation for horses. Whether you’re just starting your riding journey or looking to further develop your skills, I’m excited to be a part of it!
