ANIMAL TREATMENT PROGRAMS ARE BECOMING MORE WIDELY RECOGNIZED!

 HEAL workshops are 'therapedic',

Our Horses and Healing Programs are designed to create lifelong skills by working with horses to gain personal achievements through equine activities.

Youth make short-term gains in behaviour development, preparing them for long-term success. The program uses horsemanship skills and integrates them with team building skills, which helps to develop a strong positive relationship. Students learn and develop skills including horse handling and proper horse care. 

When working with horses there are endless possibilities.

Our program facilitators work with each of youth, helping them develop themselves and their horsemanship skills at their own speed.  

We focus on each youth. 

The Workshops allow all Youth to discover their inner self.  Horses as teachers empower Youth to deal with their fear, anxiety and anger.  Youth are able to recognize their own gifts, they create healthy boundaries and learn to develop healthy relationships.

Why use horses (horse therapy)?

§  Horses are able to push boundaries and mirror human emotions.

§  Horses are teachers and partners, which help people overcome and deal with real-life challenges, become in-tune with emotions, reduce anxiety, provide feedback and help people to become focussed and goal-oriented .
