For Adults
Working with horses can help make our unhealthy patterns easier to see. Practicing more effective skills in a non-judgmental arena with immediate feedback reinforces healthy behaviors.
For Veterans
Scars from military service often go much deeper than skin. Working with horses can help change the subject from what you can’t do to what you can. Come feel like a person again.
People, Horses, Hope
Through our history, horses have been helping us march into battle, transport heavy things and plow our fields. They’ve helped us run faster, jump higher and feel more powerful than we could on our own. Now people and horses are teaming up to help us become better version of ourselves. Come out to Summit Equestrian to see all the ways getting out to our barn and working with our horses can impact you.
Physical
When we sit astride a horse, we use a lot of the same muscles we use when we walk. It’s a great way to strengthen our core while stretching and toning other muscles, while simultaneously improving fine motor skills and balance.
Emotional
Horses know what we feel before we say a word. Working with horses can expose emotional patterns we didn't realize we had. Developing a healthy relationship with a horse in a judgment-free arena is a great way to strengthen human relationships.
Sensory
Our clients on the Autism Spectrum gain a variety of value from their time with our horses. Through riding and creating connection, our clients are able to learn how to focus more clearly.
Social
Social skill building in the arena with horses makes an impact. When you learn the importance of respect, direction following, creative thinking or leadership from a horse, it sticks with you.
Give Hope
Your support helps keep our herd at its best! Thank you for helping us help our community.
