MILLS FARM THERAPEUTIC RIDING

THE MILLS FARM
Mills Farm a faith based non-denominational organization uses working with horses and horse related activities to foster and enhance the physical, behavioral, emotional, mental and spiritual development and well being, of children and adults. Horses are such magnificent creatures and conduits of positive energy and transformation; their presence alone is a powerful healing force for our clients. This healing is extended even further through our directed use of therapy with horses. Our programs are carefully structured to suit the individual goals and needs of the participants; and are designed using proven techniques and methodologies.

The students involved will learn basic horseback riding and horsemanship skills. In addition, they will receive the following benefits:

• A sense of personal achievement
• Increased self-esteem, self confidence, physical well being and body image
• Improved motivational levels, sense of responsibility, and ability to follow directions
• Improved appropriate social skills, including managing their own behavior, positive peer support, respect for self and others, and appropriate ways of setting boundaries

We provide a caring, supportive and safe environment for our students to learn AND HAVE FUN!! ! !
