Here are our programs. we Hope you love them as much as we do.

Equine Assisted Services (EAS)

Equine Assisted Services (EAS) offer a range of therapeutic benefits for individuals seeking support for various conditions- including autism, behavioral issues, emotional and social disorders, PTSD, ADD/ADHD, developmental delays, and learning differences. These programs utilize the unique bond between humans and horses to foster personal growth, enhance social skills, and promote emotional healing.

By the way “Equine” simply means “horse” in latin.

If you have been wondering, you are not alone. We get this question a lot!
To be even more accurate, the dictionary says: “Equine” means “of, relating to, or resembling a horse or the horse family”. “Latin equinus, from equus horse.” Thanks Merriam Webster!

We invite you to reach out to us for detailed information on the programs currently available. Each service is tailored to meet individual needs, providing a supportive and nurturing environment to help participants thrive.

We offer Equine Assisted Psychotherapy in partnership with Family Life Therapy! We do both Individual and Group sessions that are geared towards your mental health needs.

Make sure to follow us on Facebook to stay in the know of upcoming dates & programs.

Please note that at this time we aren’t equipped to support medically fragile students but we are working towards it.

We structure each session according to the needs and goals of each student, we use a variety of activities with the horse to work towards those goals over time: without pressure, at the pace of the student.

Natural Horsemanship

This intro to Natural Horsemanship is all about developing a bond with the horse from the ground, learning how to communicate using body language and experiencing how it feels to work at liberty (without a lead).

“Ms. Gabby is the absolute BEST! Patient, understanding, friendly, funny, professional, and highly knowledgeable-everything you could ask for in an instructor and more!

She models kindness and compassion while fostering and guiding positive relationships between humans and horses alike. her passion and excitement for building these connections truly shines through in every lesson.”
