Hold Your Horses
THERAPY, EDUCATION, MOVEMENT FOR LIFE
Hold Your Horses offers equine assisted services in a private farm setting. We are dedicated to providing effective interventions that help clients achieve wellness and increase quality of life. Year round services are available with heated indoor and scenic outdoor facilities. A professional therapy team and trained equine partners provide opportunities for skill development both on and off the horse. Individuals with physical, cognitive or sensory impairments can benefit from the engaging treatment strategy of hippotherapy or equine facilitated psychotherapy.
Therapy Services
Hold Your Horses offers equine assisted therapy services to help improve the lives of people with disabilities. We have clinicians trained in Hippotherapy and Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy that help create life changing outcomes for children and young adults.
Restorative workshops
Hold Your Horses hosts Farm Day workshops throughout the year. These workshops are for caregivers and professionals looking to restore, reflect and return to their work with new awareness of the effects of compassion fatigue and secondary trauma.
