Offers two equine-based services to support emotional, behavioral, and personal growth through ground-based (non-riding) interaction with horses.
Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP): Integrates horses into mental health therapy sessions to support emotional wellness and behavioral change. Sessions are facilitated by a licensed mental health professional and an equine specialist using the EAGALA model. EAP is experiential and effective for individuals, youth, families, and groups.
Equine-Assisted Learning (EAL): Focuses on learning and skill-building rather than therapy. Clients work with a team of professionals and horses to build skills like leadership, teamwork, and problem-solving. Sessions are goal-oriented and tailored to individual or group needs.

- Anxiety
- Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
- Behavioral Challenges

- Depression
- Eating Disorders
