Horses provide a tool for physical therapy, emotional growth, and cognitive improvement, in a unique format that is fun, exhilarating, and sometimes has the power to change a person's perspective on life!

The contact with the animal is a powerful experience, and the strong bond that is sometimes experienced  has a profound, uplifting effect on people. Communication with horses is all about us developing  and refining our ability to communicate through intention, body language, energy and feel.
