Native Hooves places special emphasis on supporting children in our foster care system. We also offer our services to those who could benefit from non-traditional forms of therapy.

 

Equine Therapy is an alternative form of talk therapy that utilizes the horse as a partner to meet therapeutic goals. Why horses? Horses have a unique capability to reflect everything you need to know about yourself. They are extremely in tune with energy, emotion, and unspoken communication. Horses are honest and respond to the emotions of those around them. This creates for a powerful experience that allows for many areas of growth. As herd animals, horses are born with an innate desire to connect. The horse speaks and has a voice, we just have to listen to understand.

​

Research has shown that working with a horse has a magnitude of benefits including increased self-confidence, self-awareness, improved social skills, self-control, trust and more.
