Horses 4 Healing is a unique, transformative program designed for individuals aged 12 and up who want to use horses and equine therapy as a healing pathway to build self-confidence, physical strength, and overall well-being. Each participant receives 1:1 time with a horse and instructor in both mounted and unmounted sessions. This is not a traditional riding lesson program—instead, it offers a deeply personalized therapeutic experience, guided by each participant’s individual goals and needs. Whether the focus is on rebuilding strength after an illness or injury, or processing trauma or PTSD in a non-judgmental, pressure-free environment, Horses 4 Healing offers a safe, compassionate space to grow. No two sessions are alike. One participant might work on posture and core stability through mounted exercises, while another may spend time grooming, leading, or simply being present with the horse to strengthen emotional regulation. On some days—especially due to weather—sessions may be unmounted, but will always be tailored toward each individual’s healing journey.

Program Details:

  • Length: 5-week semester
  • Session Duration: ~50–60 minutes
  • Cost: $40 per session
  • Format: Individual sessions (mounted & unmounted)

Participants must be committed and communicative—more than one no call/no show will result in removal from the program, as consistency is essential for therapeutic progress. If your goal is simply to “go fast” or “run” on horseback, we recommend seeking out a traditional riding lesson program. Horses 4 Healing is for those who are ready to do the deeper work of healing—physically, emotionally, and mentally—through connection, movement, and trust.
