There is freedom waiting for you, On the breezes of the sky, And you ask "What if I fall?" Oh but my darling, What if you fly?”🐴💛💙

"True horsemanship is built on emotional connection. It's not just about leading a horse—it's about understanding their feelings, respecting their space, and building trust" - Monty Roberts 🐴🥰❤️

Horses possess a remarkable ability to connect with us on a deeper level. Their serene nature and strong presence can uplift our spirits and bring tranquility to our minds. Engaging with our equine companions offers advantages that go beyond physical development. In our programs, participants and volunteers alike gain essential life skills, including responsibility, patience, empathy, and much so more. Come and see for yourself! 🥰

Adaptive riding lessons can include both mounted and unmounted activities and are typically guided by an instructor alongside a horse handler and side-walkers. This form of therapeutic horsemanship offers numerous benefits, such as enhanced balance, coordination, concentration, self-esteem, confidence, and social skills. The bond formed between horse and rider is truly special, fostering a connection that can be both empowering and healing. Whether it's the gentle sway of the horse's gait that helps to improve physical strength or the quiet companionship that eases the mind, adaptive riding provides a holistic approach to personal growth and well-being. 🐎🙏🥰

We invite you to be a part of the transformative power of horses and experience the incredible impact they can have on our lives. Join us at CHAPS and be part of a community that celebrates the unique gifts and abilities of every individual. 🫶

The soft rhythm of brushing, the gentle nuzzles from Ace, and the crisp morning air all combined to create a serene and calming experience during yesterday’s sessions. It's moments like these that remind us of the simple joys and the deep connections we share with our equine companions.

These peaceful sessions are a cherished part of the day, offering a respite from the hustle and bustle of life and a reminder of the beauty of nature and companionship.

We invite you to come and experience this unique connection, whether you are a participant, a family member or volunteer. There's always room in our CHAPS family!🤍🐴🥰☀️🐎
