Our approach
We utilize the Eagala and ARCH models of mental health therapy incorporating horses. Each session is attended by your treatment team, which consists of a licensed mental health professional, an equine specialist, and our horses. Our program is ground-based, meaning we do not ride horses in session.
Providing you with the space to explore your own solutions.
We believe that clients, when provided with a safe space and empowered by their treatment team, have the ability to find and implement their own solutions.

“The most loving thing about animals is they love you no matter what happens with your life. It doesn’t matter what your emotions are, they will love you no matter what you do. They truly display unconditional love.”
