PATH certified instructors guarantee safe and effective lessons on well trained horses.
An excellent article from Psychology Today written by Azmaira Maker, Ph.D., a licensed clinical psychologist, discusses how equine therapy alleviates multiple emotional and behavioral struggles.  Benefits include:  self-esteem, trust, communication, impulse regulation, anxiety reduction, social skills and more.   Click here to read the article.
