Mission Statement

Our mission is to provide a safe and compassionate environment that fosters physical, emotional and behavioral growth, while utilizing the intuitive nature of the horse.

Description

Our Equine Assisted programs provide a unique form of physical therapy that is both unique and effective. Horses have a natural gait that closely mimics human walking, making them a perfect choice for individuals with physical disabilities and injuries. Some of the many benefits include improved balance, strength and coordination in addition to the incredible mental health benefits that horses naturally provide. Horses have a calming effect on people, which can help reduce anxiety, stress, and depression. The act of caring for a horse also teaches responsibility and can help build confidence and self-esteem. Participants with PTSD or addiction, for example, can benefit from equine therapy by learning coping skills and developing a sense of trust and connection with their therapy horse.
Horses provide a non-judgmental and despite their size, a non-threatening environment. This can benefit children and adults with mental illness, behavioral issues and learning disabilities by improving communication, relieving anxiety, increasing focus and so much more.
Our instructors encourage participants to be as involved in our program , off the horse, as they would like. We have several riders who have become some of our best volunteers, which has opened up new opportunities in their lives outside of the barn that they may not have pursued in the past.
