Family Psychotherapy
Horses and humans are “herd animals”. We like to be a part of a family.
Our Family Psychotherapy is innovative and empowers the parent(s) in their ability to engage with their child(ren). Too often parents send their child to a therapist to be “fixed” and find that little is changed after months or years.
Our program is designed to shift the dynamic of the entire family and give the family the ability to engage in a productive and developmentally appropriate level for each child from 3 to 17 years old. We include the parents and siblings at different stages of this program.
Transitioning Adults
The ages between 16 and 23 are some of the most transformative. This age range is filled with excitement, wonder and new experiences. Are we preparing our youth to enter into this young adulthood with everything they need for success?
This program is designed to provide the minimal skills needed for this age range to be ready for the world. The horses engage in teaching personal hygiene, budgeting, shopping, meal preparation, financial savings and job applications and interviews.
Provided in a group setting to improve understanding and social interactions with others we learn from each other and improve our ability to connect with others. Throughout the program we focus on individual needs and concerns to improve outcomes.
Individual Psychotherapy
When traditional sit down talk therapy fails, equine assisted psychotherapy prevails.
Whether you have not had success with therapy in the past or you are currently stuck in therapy, equine assisted psychotherapy can help. We work with you and your current counselor, when appropriate, to design a treatment plan specifically for your needs and to help address where you are stuck. Horses give immediate, honest feedback to our behaviors and this can improve our understanding of ourselves and how we are impacting others in our lives.
Corporate Team Cohesion
Build your employee’s unity, communication and outcome by identifying the needs of your team. Building the confidence of each individual while also having fun and learning each member’s unique strengths. Combining these strengths with the team improves productivity.
We customize each program specifically for the needs of your team and business.
Therapeutic Riding
aka Adaptive Riding
Therapeutic/adaptive riding brings the independence to those with disabilities that they may not have access to in their day to day lives.
We are certified and trained in this foundational riding lesson format for individuals that need more assistance and adapted equipment/teachings to improve physical, cognitive, psychological and emotional strengths of each individual.
Horses, Horse Leaders, Sidewalkers and Instructors are all trained specifically for this unique and impactful service.
Miniature Horse Program
Just Say WHOA (We Help One Another)
This nationally accredited program involves taking miniature horses to daycares, preschools, and other schools to present anti-bullying campaigns and similar messages. This is done by comparing miniature horses to regular size horses and explaining that even though they are different, there are incredible similarities.
