Building Trust with Horses

Imagine stepping into a peaceful, nature-filled space where the only sounds are the rustling leaves and the gentle breath of horses. This is where your journey in the Building Trust with Horses and Therapeutic Art (BTHA) program begins.

Guided by skilled facilitators and supported by our rescue horses, BTHA offers a chance to slow down and reconnect. Through playful interactions, mindful presence, and therapeutic art, you’ll learn from the horses and gain valuable skills for emotional healing and well-being.

Weekly Lessons Inspired by Horses' Wisdom

​

Each week, you'll explore core concepts based on the horse's natural behavior, including:

  • Greetings: The power of hello.

  • Boundaries with Connection: Creating safety and trust.

  • Safe Spaces: Creating environments where both you and the horse can thrive.

  • Playful Interaction: Enjoying the moment through fun games.

These lessons focus on you—helping you center yourself, practice mindfulness, and build resilience.
