Equine-Assisted Therapy
Experience the power of healing through partnership with horses. Our equine-assisted therapy sessions use intentional interaction to support emotional resilience, build trust, and encourage self-awareness. This approach is especially effective for individuals facing anxiety, trauma, grief, or behavioral challenges. With the calm, intuitive presence of horses, clients often find breakthroughs that traditional therapy may not offer.
Riding Lessons with a Therapeutic Focus
Our riding sessions go beyond learning how to ride. Clients build confidence, coordination, and communication skills while forming a relationship with their horse. Each lesson integrates therapeutic principles—supporting focus, patience, and emotional regulation. Whether it’s your first time in the saddle or you're returning to riding, we guide you at your pace in a safe, supportive environment.
Groundwork Training
Groundwork is the foundation of all horsemanship—and of trust. Through hands-on exercises like grooming, leading, lunging, and reading equine body language, clients learn how to communicate with their horse from the ground. This fosters empathy, responsibility, and mutual respect—key skills for life both in and out of the arena.
Mental Health & Stress Relief Support
Horses are naturally attuned to human emotions, making them powerful partners in helping individuals manage stress, anxiety, and burnout. Sessions are designed to provide emotional grounding and mindfulness, giving clients a peaceful space to reset and reconnect with themselves in a nonjudgmental setting.
Grief & Injury Recovery Support
Horses offer silent companionship and unconditional presence—an ideal match for those moving through loss or recovering from physical injuries. Our program offers gentle, restorative experiences that help clients regain confidence, rebuild physical strength, and find emotional peace, one step at a time.
Support for Children with ADHD
Structured, sensory-rich, and relationship-based, our programs provide a powerful outlet for children with ADHD. Through riding and groundwork activities, kids build focus, executive functioning skills, and a greater sense of self-control—all while forming a fun and empowering connection with their therapy horse.

What’s the difference between riding lessons and equine therapy?
While both include time with a horse, riding lessons focus more on horsemanship and riding skills (with therapeutic benefits built in), while equine therapy sessions are specifically structured to support emotional well-being, often through groundwork and intentional interaction. Both approaches are centered around trust, safety, and the human-horse bond.
Do you work with children who have special needs?
Yes! We offer supportive, structured sessions tailored for children with ADHD and other emotional, sensory, or behavioral needs. Our calm and attentive horses help children build focus, gain confidence, and improve emotional regulation.
Do you offer private or group sessions?
All sessions are private and one-on-one to ensure every client receives personalized support, safety, and attention. We currently do not offer group sessions, but we may introduce small group options in the future.
What if I’m afraid of horses or have never ridden before?
That’s perfectly okay. Many of our clients are new to horses or have some initial fears. We move at your pace, starting with groundwork to help you feel safe and build confidence before progressing to riding.
