Hoof and Harness provides, free, one-on-one, horse centered programming, driving lessons and therapeutic games and sensory processing activities. We use the methods established by Spirit Horse International, Inc.
Our lessons run in 6 week segments, seasonally. In doing so our students can see increased muscle tone, coordination and strength, self confidence, fine motor skill, sequencing, communication skills, posture and overall quality of life. We also offer EAT (Equine Assisted Therapy) with a licensed Equine Mental Health Professional and licensed counselor to focus on developmental trauma.
