At Freedom reigns we offer both faith based and non-faith based Equine Assisted Learning sessions, Postpartum Care sessions, and Restoration Time. Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) involves non-riding interactions between humans and horses from the ground. This is a growing field within the area of equine assisted programs and interventions. EAL draws primarily on the principles of experiential learn
ing or 'hands-on' learning. Our clients will be working with a mentor as they accomplish different tasks with the goal of learning life skills and coping mechanisms. Here at the farm, these sessions are focused on helping kids break away from the chaos of a connected, yet incredibly disconnected, and anxiety driven society they are growing up in. We hope to teach them practical skills to help develop confidence, social skills, healthy coping mechanisms, and self control. Postpartum Care sessions hold a special place in my (Lauren) heart. I walked through pretty intense postpartum depression and I found healing and restoration through working with Horses. These sessions are geared towards all the tired mommas out there who feel over-extended, anxious, isolated, and/or depressed. They are built to help give women peace and rest in a beautiful place all while allowing new mom's to process the massive life changes they are walking through with horses that won't judge people for the flood of emotions that comes with this phase of life. Restoration Time is where individuals or a small group can reserve time at our beautiful farm to disconnect from the rush of the average day and spend time with the horses. We encourage people to spend some time in silence and interact with the horses. We have a small library to pick up a devotional, a journal to write in, or some words to reflect upon. We are a Non-Profit that is 100% run on donations with all staff on-board on a volunteer basis. A typical EAL session costs over $175. However, our primary objective is healing and restoration, and we will work with anyone who genuinely needs help, so please don’t let cost dissuade you from reaching out.
