HorseWisdom program

This 8 week program offers unique experiential learning sessions interacting with horses, whilst also journeying on a path of new discoveries and learning. It’s primary focus is to build social and emotional skills. 

Sessions are one hour long and occur each week over the course of the program, allowing for new skills to be assimilated into daily life. The program is aimed to be delivered in small groups (no more than 4) however, it can also be facilitated one on one.
