Horse Program
Horses are a very big part of our program. There is something about a horse that brings out deep hidden hurts that a child has shared with no one. Perhaps it's the sense of accomplishment that comes from being able to control such a large animal when you have had so little control over what has occurred in your life. The skills learned in order to control a horse help to build confidence, self-esteem and self-worth. The loving bond that is created between the child and his/her horse helps to heal the broken bonds they've experienced. Our Mental Health Counselor and Equine Specialist are able to observe behaviors out at the stables and in the riding arena that have not been disclosed through traditional therapy.
Sponsor a Horse
The cost of feeding, shoeing, providing veterinary care and deworming on a monthly basis can add up quickly. Many of the horses used in our program have themselves been rescued from unfortunate circumstances.
It costs approximately $100 a month to feed each horse in our program. Will you consider helping with these costs? You can adopt a horse for as little as $25 a month with our "Bale & Bag Program". Each horse in our program is matched up with one of our residents who is responsible for the feeding, grooming and general care of her horse.
Will you consider a monthly donation of $100, $50, $35, or $25.00 to sponsor a horse. We thank you for considering the opportunity to be a blessing to us by adopting a horse.
