LEARN. GROW.

The Power
of the Horse
"Horses listen to what is not spoken, to what lies in the heart, and reflect it back to us. They let us hear the longing of our soul."
- Terri Scallon
Horses can help you
learn, grow, and THRIVE!
How can THRIVE help?
THRIVE uses the power of the horse to aid small groups in learning important life and relationship skills designed to help them grow and succeed with confidence.
​
Through the group's interaction with our horses, participants discover inner strengths, overcome perceived obstacles, and spark fresh insights leading to greater self-awareness and improved relationships.
Because all activities are on the ground with our horses (there is no riding in this program), participants gain a unique perspective of them, allowing them to develop a more meaningful connection and deeper trust with them.
Community THRIVE All Year
Due to popular demand, we are offering an all-new THRIVE All Year Course for community children ages 9-13. This course is designed to provide participants with extended interaction and learning with the horses, meeting once a month over a six-month period. This lengthened engagement strengthens the bond between the participants and the horses, fostering a longer-term focus on the lessons taught in class.
THRIVE Programs
Our THRIVE Program is divided into four categories, the THRIVE Field Trip, THRIVE Course, THRIVE Mobile, and THRIVE All Year. They are designed to help individuals, families, and communities grow and succeed with confidence and focus on developing long-lasting life skills such as facing fear, relationship and self-confidence building, setting boundaries, exploring trust, and many more.
Because all activities are on the ground with our horses (there is no riding in this program), participants gain a unique perspective of them, allowing them to develop a more meaningful connection and deeper trust with them.
