Horses Helping Humans.................

PEACE Ranch uses the EAGALA* model in all equine assisted counseling and education programs. All sessions are conducted with a licensed mental health professional, an equine specialist and horses. Equine assisted counseling is suitable for clients of all ages with a broad range of mental health and human development needs. It is a short term approach, usually 8-10 sessions which makes it more cost effective as well.  No prior experience with horses is necessary.  Call to make an appointment for individual, couples or family therapy today.

To make an appointment contact PEACE Ranch.

 

 Equine Assisted Learning (EAL)

Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) focuses on education and learning specific skills as defined by the individual or group, such as improved product sales for a company, leadership skills for a school group, or resiliency training for our military warriors.

The potential applications for both EAP and EAL are limitless!

Equine Assisted Learning Programs include:

PEACE Kids (for children 4-12 with ASD)

Moms&Horses (for single mothers)

Gallop (teenage victims of sexual abuse)

Hippotherapy is a treatment strategy used by physical, occupational and speech therapists. It utilizes the movements of a horse to provide carefully graded motor and sensory input. A foundation is established to improve neurological function and sensory processing, which can be generalized to a wide range of daily activities. Unlike therapeutic horseback riding (where specific riding skills are taught), the movement of the horse is a means to a treatment goal when utilizing hippotherapy as a treatment strategy. 

For more information contact Megan Hamlin of Making Strides , occupational therapist and hippotherapy provider at PEACE Ranch.
