Participants will experience a variety of activities
that encourage positive peer interaction and allow them to
implement new skills in real-life situations, all while spending time
around horses. Why horses? Horses are perceptive, intuitive animals that
reflect the energy and emotions of those around them while also
providing real-time feedback. Research in equine therapy and activities
has also shown that it promotes physical, mental, and emotional
wellness.
