WHERE TO TURN

FOR SUPPORT

“We’ve just had our best Parent/Teacher interview EVER! The teachers say that she’s a delight in the classroom and is a great helper with one of their students who has special needs. This program has been so beneficial; not only to Kaysia but to everyone who deals with Kaysia!”

One of the many bonuses of working with horses vs a classroom setting, is the component of interactivity. We all learn differently, but we can all take away lessons that we learn through our experiences. As the only Internationally Recognized Equine Assisted Learning Program in Canada, each of our exercises is custom designed to maximize learning potential and focus on developing individual skills as they work through fun, interactive group challenges.

Working alongside of our horse teachers is the key to the success! See what makes it SO effective...

We reinforce this ™ Building Block © Program of solid skills development with Growth Mindset practices that give Youth even more tools for success! Overcoming fear & anxiety, healthy relationships and gratitude are a few of the topics that are introduced to enhance learning objectives throughout the curriculum. We plant the seeds to develop positive thought processes in a fun, interactive setting that keeps Youth open and engaged with the learning.

Our interactive 8 & 12 week curriculum programs, as well as our workshop events for Youth, are specifically designed to ensure the learning and retention of necessary life skills to aid in each Youth's personal growth. It is an excellent approach to teaching that gives your Youth an experience to pull from when they are faced with choices and challenges. By consistently paralleling working with their teachers, the horses, back to everyday situations, our facilitators ensure that Youth understand how to carry their learning forward.

Let's Give OUR YOUTH Every Chance to SUCCEED!

"I learned to communicate better with my teammates. I also learned that the horses are just like people and need to be comforted just like humans. They need trust and connection too. They are also very comforting to come to. I learned that you can have very close relationships and a very strong friendship."
