Mission Statement
To promote the physical and emotional development of people of all ages and abilities through safe, therapeutic, outdoor experiences.
Description
We are excited to be able to offer equine assisted learning all year round as we now have a space with a covered arena. With all that has gone on in the world around us in the past two years it is more important than ever to have a safe space to explore how you are feeling, how you interact with others and practice self care. Horses have an amazing way of gently helping us 'see' our own behavior and how it might impact those around us. We offer individual class as well as workshops for special groups like Cancer Life Line.
