Equine-assisted therapy is a therapeutic approach that incorporates horses into the treatment process, facilitating emotional, mental, and behavioral growth and healing in a unique and powerful way.

This therapy is beneficial for individuals of all ages dealing with a range of challenges, including stress, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and behavioral issues. It's also great for those seeking personal growth and improved emotional well-being.

No prior experience with horses is necessary. Our therapy sessions are designed to be accessible and beneficial to everyone, regardless of their background with horses.

A typical session involves interacting with horses through various activities, guided by our equine specialist and therapists. These activities are designed to reflect and work through your personal challenges, promoting insight and healing.

We offer both individual and group therapy sessions. Individual sessions provide personalized attention, while group sessions offer the added benefit of shared experiences and peer support.

Sessions typically last about one hour. This duration allows for meaningful interaction with the horses while respecting the emotional and physical energy of both participants and horses.

Safety is our utmost priority. Our therapy sessions are conducted in a controlled environment by experienced therapists and facilitators, ensuring a safe and supportive experience for all involved.

The frequency of sessions can vary based on individual needs and goals. Our therapists will work with you to create a personalized plan that may range from weekly to monthly sessions.

While equine-assisted therapy can be incredibly effective, it's often used in conjunction with traditional therapy methods. It's best to consult with your therapist to determine the most suitable approach for your needs.

Starting is easy. Contact us to schedule an initial consultation where we'll discuss your needs and goals and plan your therapy journey. We're here to support you every step of the way.

We offer a variety of lessons tailored to different skill levels and interests, including beginner basics, advanced riding techniques, and specialized disciplines. Let us know what you're interested in, and we'll find the perfect fit for you.

Consistency is key to improvement. We recommend weekly lessons to steadily progress, but we can also accommodate bi-weekly or monthly schedules based on your needs and goals.

Each lesson typically lasts an hour, which includes time to warm up and cool down. We believe this duration allows for substantial learning without overwhelming the rider or the horse.

If you're unsure about your level, don't worry! Our instructors will assess your skills during the first lesson and place you in the appropriate level to ensure a challenging yet enjoyable learning experience.

Just bring yourself, dressed in comfortable riding attire, and we'll take care of the rest, including helmets and any other necessary equipment. If you have your own riding gear, feel free to bring it along.

Scheduling is simple. Visit our website to view available slots or contact us directly to discuss your preferences. We're here to accommodate your schedule to the best of our ability.
