Horses Make Miracles
Overview
Horses Make Miracles offers activities for participants of all ages and abilities with personalized plans specifically geared toward participant’s needs, goals and objectives. These activities include teaching of horsemanship, equine facilitated psychotherapy, groups that focus on youth or older adults, volunteer opportunities, community involvement, continuing education and mentorship.
We do this in a beautiful outdoor space with certified and licensed therapists, wise therapy horses evaluated for temperament and specially trained, and a support team that ensures safety, confidentiality and engaging activities that enhance the participant’s life experiences. In order to offer services to a wide range of socio-economic backgrounds, there are several programs funded by grants or scholarships as well as fee-based and donation sessions.
Through our varied programs, lessons and workshops, our participants have rich opportunities to experience the healing nature of horses. Engaging with the horse’s spiritual nature increases well-being, inspires self-confidence, responsibility, teamwork and awareness of body, mind, heart and soul. Life changing progress comes from the guided interaction with horses. New communication skills, improved self-esteem, increased self-awareness, new found confidence, discovering hidden talents, skills and abilities are a few of many benefits gained.
Our diverse equine assisted therapeutic programs are individually designed for individuals of all ages with emphasis on treatment for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, traumatic brain injuries, learning disabilities, mental and emotional health issues and behavioral challenges. Some participants have tried other more traditional therapies without success and have found that equine assisted activities offer a unique way to engage with another sentient being who offers a trusted connection with non-judgement in the beauty of nature.
Horses Make Miracles also integrates internships, mentoring and counseling programs that encourage other equine therapeutic techniques.
