Mission Statement

To facilitate self-growth programs through animals and nature; and to facilitate wellness as a way of life; and to assist humans in development of life plans for positive outcomes.

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.
