More about this center
About the Program
According to its website, therapeutic riding at the ranch aims to help riders with balance, joint mobility, coordination, muscle tone and posture. The Services for Heroes program sets aside days and times for veterans and service members, who work with VA Certified Peer Support Specialists.
For equine-assisted psychotherapy, the ranch says it does not have a mental health therapist on staff. Each session includes a licensed mental health professional, an equine specialist and a horse, and sessions run rain or shine. The ranch refers interested people to private-pay therapists it works with, and payment is arranged through the therapist. Equine-assisted learning focuses on skills such as teamwork, leadership and problem solving, working with a peer support specialist.
