These pictures and saying are so true!!!! We offer Equine Therapy!!!!
We have room in our program. If interested contact us!!!! Here is additional information!!!!
Thankyou for your interest in South Timber Creek Ranch.
Our equine therapy program is focused on working with individuals both children and adults with mental health issues. These mental health issues can be anything from ADHD, ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, AUTISM AND DOWN SYNDROME and others.
The most important part of the equine program is to help the individuals bond with their horse. Once this bonding occurs than trust ensures and real growth occurs. Horses have a unique empathy to understand humans and their needs.
Part's of the equine therapy program is bonding, trust, making connections, as you learn to ride. Equine therapy occurs during ground work such as brushing the horse, leading the horse and also while you ride the horse and learning to care for the horse.
Individuals learn confidence, self advocacy, determination as well as gentleness and kindness all the time while working with their horses.
In addition, I hold a masters degree in special education and am certified in Equine Therapy. I also have over 25 years of public school teaching experience where I worked with at-risk and drop out youth and special education students at the high school level.
We can not accept insurance payments but we try very hard to keep our equine therapy sessions affordable for families. Most places in Iowa charge $150 plus per session. At South Timber Creek Ranch we offer an hour session for $50.00. We recommend weekly sessions as that is how true change occurs but will work with families on scheduling sessions.
If you have any questions please let me know.
Thankyou
