Our Horses
Horses are power, strong, beautiful and social animals. They have distinct personalities, attitudes, and moods. Due to their sensitivity and base nature they instinctively respond to our body language, nonverbal cues and energy. Horses can provide us with valuable insights into communication, relationship and other areas of our life.
Our horses are facilitators in our therapy and learning. They are front and center in all aspects of the work that we do. We appreciate their presence and work hard to provide them with a safe, healthy, loving environment with holistic care.
