A unique opportunity for healing, connection and growth
Horses offer a unique, calming way to support healing and connection. Through Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy, survivors can explore trust, healthy boundaries, communication and self-connection in a safe, supportive environment.
Horses are highly responsive to body language and emotions. Through hands-on activities and interactions with the horses, participants can explore feelings, relationships and communication without judgment or pressure.This group is designed to help survivors build confidence, connection and resilience—one step at a time.
What to Expect
All activities with the horses take place on the ground—no riding is involved. Participants will engage in activities that encourage connection, communication, trust and self-awareness.
Children ages 13 and older may attend with a parent or legal guardian.Sessions are held rain or shine, so please dress accordingly and wear closed-toe shoes.
