Description
Our main achievement is our healingwithhorses.com program has been in operation for over 20 years. We have developed new goals with the pandemic; which are 1) "The Tiny House Living"; and 2) an outdoor alternative school. We have always worked with school systems in providing an alternative with our curriculum based programs for those who learn differently; have behavioral and or sensitivity issues; those who are being home schooled; or those being raised by grand-parents; and any other type need for children to not be main streamed schooled. The necessity to simplify "how" we live can be integrated into development of "life plans"; in which we help guide families into changes in order to reach life goals of all family members. In our over 20 year history, we have been nationally accredited (like what a hospital has to do to pass "standards" when working with humans); been provider of CAP services thru the Dept of Health and Human Services; helped thousands of individuals and or families traverse life's obstacles; and more. God is our center piece. Animals and nature are our conduits to reaching Him and heal human afflictions. Our main attribute is working with crisis and trauma.
