Equine Mentorship and
Therapeutic Riding Program
Equine Mentorship Program and Therapeutic Riding Program
$100/hr session
Our specialized program is led by a Behavioral Therapist with experience as a BCBA, Special Education Teacher and Preschool Teacher. We strive to find creative ways to combine our love of horses with our love of helping children grow and achieve personal goals that allow them to live as their most confident self.
Working with our horses offers children a unique opportunity to engage with horses in a safe and supportive environment. Each session is individually designed for a child's specific goals and needs to ensure each session fosters emotional growth, enhances social skills, connection and promotes physical coordination.
Through interactive activities like riding, groundwork and barn chores, children build confidence, learn trust, and have a safe place to build their skills.
​
We specialize in helping those working through challenges with executive functioning, Dyslexia, Autism and ADHD.
​
Experience the joy and healing that comes from connecting with our incredible animals.
