Services and Hours: Currently, we serve 80 participants ranging in age from 2 to 60 years, with sessions available from Monday to Saturday, 8:00 am to 6:00 pm.
Horse Selection: The development of this practice requires the use of horses specifically trained for therapy, meeting specific criteria such as being male, neutered, and docile, among others. Currently, 5 horses are used in Equine Therapy.
