The big day may have come and gone, but keep in touch as we’re always up to something new and exciting.
Welcome to our four-week therapeutic horse program, where participants will embark on a journey of self-discovery, growth, and healing through interactions with our gentle equine partners. Our program, guided by Alyssa Royce, dedicated therapist and Allison Yeager, Director of Equestrian Services, provides a nurturing environment for participants to learn invaluable coping skills while forming deep connections with our horses.
April 2nd: Building Trust and Connection
In the first week, participants will learn the importance of trust and communication as they begin to establish a bond with their horse companions. Through grooming, feeding, and gentle exercises, participants will develop a sense of connection and mutual respect with their equine partners, laying the foundation for future therapeutic activities.
April 9th: Emotional Awareness and Regulation
During the second week, participants will explore their emotions in a safe and supportive environment. Through guided exercises and interactions with the horses, participants will learn to identify and express their feelings effectively. Our equine partners, with their innate ability to mirror human emotions, will help participants develop strategies for emotional regulation and stress management.
April 16th: Mindfulness and Relaxation Techniques
In week three, participants will immerse themselves in the present moment through mindfulness practices. Guided by experienced instructors, participants will engage in activities such as meditation, breathing exercises, and nature walks with their equine companions. By cultivating mindfulness, participants will learn to quiet their minds, reduce anxiety, and find peace in the midst of life's challenges.
April 23rd: Overcoming Obstacles and Problem-Solving Strategies
In the final week, participants will put their newfound skills to the test as they tackle various challenges alongside their horse partners. Through problem-solving activities, obstacle courses, and team-building exercises, participants will learn the value of perseverance, adaptability, and resilience. With the support of their peers and equine friends, participants will discover their inner strength and confidence to overcome obstacles both on and off the horse.
Throughout the program, our dedicated team of therapists and equine specialists will provide personalized guidance and support to ensure each child's unique needs are met. By combining the healing power of horses with evidence-based therapeutic techniques, our therapeutic horse academy offers participants a transformative experience that fosters growth, resilience, and lasting positive change.
Please Note: Our program integrates both ground-based and mounted activities, allowing participants to engage with horses in a variety of contexts. While participation in all activities is encouraged, no activity is mandatory, and accommodations can be made upon request. Each activity concludes with a thorough discussion facilitated by our therapist to encourage reflection and processing of the experiences encountered. Rain or shine, excluding major thunderstorms, activities proceed as scheduled. Make up dates are only issued in the event of weather cancellation, not due to personal cancellations. Final decisions regarding weather conditions are made two hours before the group starts. Upon registration, participants will receive detailed information and required documentation from Alyssa Royce. Payment of $240.00 and all forms must be submitted by 3/31/24.
