THRIVE!
LEARN. GROW.

The Power
of the Horse
"Horses listen to what is not spoken, to what lies in the heart, and reflect it back to us. They let us hear the longing of our soul."
- Terri Scallon
Horses can help you
learn, grow, and THRIVE!
How can THRIVE help?
THRIVE uses the power of the horse to aid small groups in learning important life and relationship skills designed to help them grow and succeed with confidence.
​
Through the group's interaction with our horses, participants discover inner strengths, overcome perceived obstacles, and spark fresh insights leading to greater self-awareness and improved relationships.
Because all activities are on the ground with our horses (there is no riding in this program), participants gain a unique perspective of them, allowing them to develop a more meaningful connection and deeper trust with them.
Community THRIVE Course!
Due to popular demand, we are offering a THRIVE Course for community children ages 9-13 this summer. This course is designed to provide participants with an unforgettable journey of self-discovery, growth, and connection, focusing on building resilience, developing leadership skills, and strengthening self-confidence.
THRIVE Programs
Our THRIVE Program is divided into four categories, the THRIVE Field Trip, THRIVE Course, THRIVE Mobile, and THRIVE All Year. They are designed to help individuals, families, and communities grow and succeed with confidence and focus on developing long-lasting life skills such as facing fear, relationship and self-confidence building, setting boundaries, exploring trust, and many more.
Because all activities are on the ground with our horses (there is no riding in this program), participants gain a unique perspective of them, allowing them to develop a more meaningful connection and deeper trust with them.

THRIVE Course June/July 2025
For children ages 9-13
Unleash Confidence, Build Resilience, and Discover Leadership—All with the Help of a Horse
At Bella Terra Stables, our THRIVE Equine-Assisted Learning Program offers kids ages 9–13 an unforgettable journey of self-discovery, growth, and connection.
Through hands-on, ground-based experiences (no riding involved), participants learn to communicate, lead, and build trust—all while forging powerful bonds with our gentle, intuitive horses. In this one-of-a-kind setting, children don’t just learn about resilience and confidence—they live it. Because when a horse responds to you, it changes how you see yourself.
Let your child experience the magic of horses and the strength that comes from within.
