Why Us? Why Horses?
Why Horses?
Sometimes you've tried all the traditional methods to help your child and you are still struggling to find something that really works. We take the pressure off of the kids to perform or provide the 'right' answer and instead allow them to be outside in nature and develop a relationship with a horse. Horses, while very large animals, are very vulnerable. As a prey animal they are hypersensitive to their surroundings and extremely loving in a very non judgmental way. This provides our kids with a safe place and a safe connection in which they can learn.
We tailor our programs to the needs and concerns specific to your child. Through our initial meeting and tour we will help you determine which program is best to start whether it's our Horse Powered Learning program, Equine Assisted Learning or Therapeutic Horsemanship or a combination of any of these. We welcome you to contact us to set up your FREE barn tour to learn more.
Our Mission
Our Mission is to help our kids reach their personal highest potential, gain self-confidence, and self-esteem through a connection with the horses.
