Learning first aid isn’t just a safety skill—it’s an act of compassion and responsibility. It builds confidence, sharpens awareness, and deepens the bond between horse and human.

We are so thankful for the generosity of Bryant Excavation and Landscaping! They are tackling a lot of projects around the barn and doing a great
job!

They offer land clearing, site preparation, grading, retaining walls to name just a few. They are licensed and insured with experienced employees and the equipment needed to get the job done. If you need any dirt work, give them a call!

In some of our sessions, students take time to ovserve the herd. Noticing behaviors, feelings, and relationship dynamics.

There is something touching to watch as the horses care for eachother. It is powerful to consider how healthy relationship can promote mental and emotional wellbeing.

How can you care for and consider others in your life this week?

🌟 Stronger Together 🐴👫👬

In group equine assisted therapy lessons, it’s not just about connecting with the horse—it’s about connecting with each other.

Students learn teamwork, communication, and mutual support as they work side by side. Whether it’s helping a peer lead a horse or sharing a moment of encouragement, each interaction builds confidence, empathy, and trust.

Horses respond to the group's energy, creating a calm, shared space where everyone belongs. 💬💞

Because healing doesn’t happen alone—and neither does growth!

🧠💫 Learning Through the Reins 🐎💞

In equine assisted therapy, the reins are more than a tool—they’re a bridge. As students learn to guide the horse, they also learn to communicate clearly, build trust, and stay present in the moment.

Every gentle tug, every release, becomes a conversation. The horse listens. The student adjusts. And in that quiet exchange, growth happens—emotionally, mentally, and physically.

It's not just about control. It's about connection. 🐴💬💗
