Therapeutic riding services are led by a PATH Certified Therapeutic Riding Instructor (www.PathIntl.org) who has completed extensive training in utilizing horseback riding activities to achieve specific therapeutic goals for individuals with unique needs. Our PATH Certified Instructors are not licensed therapists and do not provide clinical counseling services to riders. Unlike traditional riding lessons, volunteers assist the instructor in leading horses or assisting a rider's stability in the saddle. Activities may include goals such as relationship building, self-confidence, communication and basic horsemanship. Each therapeutic riding term occurs over a 10 week period. During that period, each rider will work towards a therapeutic goal based on their individual needs and abilities. Lessons available for ages 5 years and up.
Led by PATH Certified Therapeutic Riding Instructors. NOT Covered by major medical insurance.
The National Geographic Channel has featured Equine Assisted Therapy several times.

"What makes a horse therapeutic?"
2023 Therapeutic Riding Terms Wednesday- Saturday Lessons
Mental health counseling sessions are provided by licensed mental health professionals using evidence-based psychotherapy techniques in an immersive, outdoor setting that may or may not include horses, donkeys, or other farm animals. Mental health counseling sessions do not utilize riding of any sort to accomplish a clients clinical goal. The horses and environment help to provide powerful metaphors for over-coming life's most difficult challenges. All of our licensed professionals are EAGALA Certified (www.eagala.org). This alternative approach to traditional in-office counseling has assisted many individuals in obtaining the results sought from counseling. Horse knowledge or experience is not required to benefit from these sessions. Counseling sessions are (1) hour in duration and occur in a spacious, private pasture with a working herd of equines. Services for ages 5 years old and up.
