COME HERE TO LAUGH:
Laughter is the best medicine! Horses love to have fun. Kids love to have fun. Put them together, and you have a blast. Laughter heals by releasing endorphines - natures healing hormone. |
COME HERE TO HEAL:
Many times, when kids and teens are court ordered to therapy settings in a clinical office with a mental health professional they shut down or become very stagnated. However, when they take part in therapeutic riding, Nvwati Good Medicine Life skills, Horse Leader Programs, and/ or Equine Mental Health sessions they cannot "ignore or check out " around a 1000 pound animal. Horses engage kids where they are and the mixture of exercise, physical activity, volunteering to help others, and working with psychologist, therapists, specialist, and horses gives kids a chance for lasting change.

COME HERE TO LEARN:
Everyone can learn and everyone can teach. From social skills, mediation, stress reduction, nature walks and living in the moment, we believe every moment is a teaching moment. We partner with the Quest and Capstone internship programs for High School and College students. We believe we can learn from nature, from the horses, and through each other.

COME HERE TO LOVE:
People who have been abused or bullied often do not trust adults. That's where the herd really shines. Horses are prey animals and know what it is like to be bullied. They surround and protect herd members that are hurt. They surround and protect people they perceive as part of their herd. Children and teens learn to trust through the non-conditional love offered by the horse. They will open up and speak to the horses and will learn to trust again.
