More about this center
About the Program
Riding lessons last about 45 minutes, in groups of one to four riders similar in age or ability. Each rider works with a leader and two side walkers, and instructors set goals for each rider with the rider and family. Students also learn to groom and tack their horses.
The site lists head instructor Jody Keeley as a PATH Intl. Certified Therapeutic Riding Instructor with an Equine Specialist in Mental Health and Learning certificate. Hold the Line is counseling with horses provided by the farm's resident licensed professional clinical counselor, who the site says specializes in first responders, military members and their families. The site says it can be combined with EMDR and may be covered by insurance.
Veterans and Women's Groups
Lovesome runs six-week sessions for veterans from Joseph House in Cincinnati, and since 2019 a similar program for women in crisis from the Brighton Center. Sessions combine the OK Corral Equine Program, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and a goal-mapping exercise, followed by process groups. See our guide to equine therapy for veterans.
