Horses Make Miracles offers activities for participants of all ages with personalized plans and activities specifically geared toward individual needs, goals and objectives. These activities include teaching of horsemanship, equine facilitated psychotherapy, groups that focus on youth or seniors (Silver Stirrups), volunteer opportunities, community involvement, continuing education and mentorship.
We do this in a beautiful outdoor space with licensed therapists, trained volunteers and our wise therapy horses evaluated for temperament and specially trained, and a support team that ensures safety, confidentiality and activities that enhance life experiences. We offer our services to a wide range of socio-economic backgrounds.
Through our varied programs and workshops, our participants have rich opportunities to experience the healing nature of horses. Engaging with the horse’s spiritual nature increases one’s social well-being inspiring 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.
Some participants have tried other more traditional therapies without success, and 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.
