Our Therapeutic Approach

EQUINE THERAPY BENEFITS FOR HIGH FUNCTIONING ASPBERGHERS AND AUTISTIM

The purpose of our teaching sessions is to allow a practical hands on activities with Buddy and Sissy. Our emphasis with each client is that they are not alone in their lives and that they can just not only cope with handling the stresses of daily tasks and functioning, but to succeed ,and overcome so many barriers. Depending upon the scale of mental and physical ability of each person, Buddy, Sissy and myself will meet them exactly where they are capable of interacting. One of my main goals is to inspire our clients to have a real sense of purpose through their life and work. Helping Thru Horses is here to help you develop that personal trust and relationship with Almighty God by engaging in real life activities and situations with our horses.
