Therapeutic Horsemanship

Therapeutic Horsemanship incorporates programs for people with physical, emotional, and mental differing abilities, diverse needs, and/or challenges. 

​

Hug A Horse 

This is a hands on, on the ground program specifically designed for those who wish to spend time with horses and have a horse experience, but do not wish to or are unable to ride. This type of horsemanship is also great for those who hope to ride at some point in the future but first need to gain an understanding of horses, overcome fears, and develop bonds. Individuals with differing abilities, physical or mental challenges, and seniors have had great success with this program.
