The Therapeutic Program

Studies have shown that equine assisted therapy and equine assisted activities (EAT/EAA) improve physical and mental health. Furthermore, interaction with therapy horses can lower blood pressure, reduce stress and anxiety, improve self-esteem, increase emotional stability, social connections and help build trust and empathy.

Hippocrates Program
(on-site)


 

This program is designed for children of all abilities and takes place on-site at our farm, offering individualized, one-on-one interactions with our miniature therapy horses.

Each 60-minute session is customized based on the participant’s age, ability, and interests. Activities include basic horse safety, grooming, leading, and a variety of fun and educational games that make every session engaging, interactive, and deeply rewarding.

We warmly welcome home-schooled children, as well as those with unique support needs, learning differences, or neurodivergent profiles. Every child is encouraged to participate at their own pace, fostering confidence, sensory awareness, and meaningful connection through gentle, guided experiences with our horses.

Somatic/Nature Therapeutic Experiences  and Coaching

Veterans Program
(on-site)

 

Our Veterans Program with Horses is led by Rachel Couch, a gestalt equine practitioner and clinical counselor and Daniela Juri, an EAGALA certified equine specialist.

Our trauma-informed, ground-based sessions, workshops, and retreats provide a safe space to address PTSD, moral injury, and to focus on whole health and recovery. In partnership with our sensitive, intuitive and profoundly honest horses, veterans are invited to reconnect with themselves, rediscover purpose, and experience healing through trust, presence, and connection with nature.
