“Our vision is a partnership with our horses in order to positively change the mind, body and spirit”.

Therapeutic Riding

Therapeutic Riding provides structured horseback riding sessions for children and adults with physical, cognitive, and emotional disabilities. Our instructors are nationally certified in Therapeutic Riding through NARHA and our volunteers and horses have been carefully selected and trained for their roles.

Equine Assisted Psychotherapy

Equine Assisted Psychotherapy(EAP) incorporates horses experientially for emotional growth and learning. It is a collaborative effort with a treatment team of three; a licensed therapist, an equine specialist and a horse.

Unlike traditional office sessions, which rely almost entirely on self-report, equine facilitated sessions allow for direct observation of behaviors, emotional responses and patterns, in real-time situations. The experiential nature of EAP allows a therapist and client to practice new behaviors in a dynamic situation with a living creature.

Equine Assisted Learning

Equine Assisted Learning(EAL) has many of the same approaches and goals as EAP, but is less focused on deep psychotherapy and more focused on building pro-social skills and human development. This therapy is often conducted in groups and is very effective in promoting healthy relationships, personal responsibility, confidence, creative-thinking, problem solving, leadership and teamwork.
