The Stable Program welcomes those youth (8-18) who live with mental health challenges (anxiety, trauma, ASD, ADHD to name a few). The unique characteristics of horses allow them a special role in this experiential learning program. Horses are non-judgmental and provide instant feedback and mirroring. It is a unique, engaging and disciplined program.

Teamwork, social skills, honesty, trust and respect are an expectation of our riders. Over the years this program has proven to be very effective in helping to develop appropriate skills and coping strategies out in the world. They include improved emotional regulation, self-esteem, social skills and focus. We witness enormous success, secure in the knowledge that the lessons learned here are transferable to other areas of our young riders' lives.

A certified Canadian Therapeutic Riding Association instructor, facilitator and trained (volunteer) horse handlers are present for each lesson. The facilitator holds the "emotional" container and is skilled with dealing with persons who may experience challenges during their lesson.
