Individual Sessions

Service Description

During individual sessions a client will work alongside a horse or horses and a mental health professional. Session activities are designed to be fun, educational, and always with a focus on safety. We begin with teaching the basics of horse care, horse handling, and horse safety. Individual sessions are not riding lessons. Although there may be riding involved for specific clients under specific circumstances, learning how to ride is not inherently a part of this program. Some of the benefits of participating in equine-assisted activities include opportunities to build trust, foster healthy relationships, receive direct and honest feedback, acquire insight for self-reflection, and an improved ability to develop effective communication skills.
