What We Offer
Visit the farm
Are you interested in visiting the farm? We host a quarterly tour for the community to visit and see what Equine Assisted programming is all about.
“Thank you for your gentle encouragement and the way you gently challenge me... I felt the most supported I’ve ever been and you’re helping me to find the courage to dig deeper and move on. Thank you.”
What We Believe
The ability to build healthy, connected, and attuned relationships with self, others and the natural world is one of the most important skills any person can acquire and can be embodied in multiple ways. Anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD all share the challenge of disconnection: from self, from other people and/or the community. By engaging with the therapeutic team of a mental health professional, a horse professional and one or more horses, we can impact and improve both the physiology--self-regulation--and the psychology--the patterns of thinking--of our clients, creating lasting change well beyond the therapeutic benefits of simply being with animals.
