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.
THRIVE!
RESET. FOCUS. RETURN.
For ages 11-14
School-Ready from the Inside Out
Through hands-on, horse-guided activities, this upcoming THRIVE Course is specially designed to help participants explore life skills such as facing fears, handling change, and managing challenges, all while building resilience and self-confidence.
In this ground-based equine-assisted learning experience, participants work together and alongside our horses to uncover inner strengths, learn how to adapt, and sharpen their minds for the year ahead. By developing trust with our horses and each other, they gain fresh insight into how to navigate the pressures of school and social life with courage and clarity.
This Course will take place on
THURSDAYS from 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
on the following dates:
June 25th, July 2nd
July 9th, July 16th
July 23rd, July 30th
We need a minimum of 5 students to be able to run this program.
