Equine Therapy
for Kids and Teens
Equine Therapy is especially effective for youth and adolescent issues including ADD/ADHD, ODD, anger management and other at-risk behaviors. We frequently work with children who are struggling with behavioral and emotional issues and commonly address areas of concern such as:
Impulsivity
Poor decision making
Difficulty handling frustration
Argumentative behavior
Difficulty accepting responsibility
Equine Theapy is especially suited for youth, in that it's not an office-based intervention. Equine therapy is engaging, interesting and, in short, It doesn't feel like therapy! Equine therapy also does not require youth to be verbal about their thoughts & feelings; instead it allows them the opportunity to try out new behaviors and get feedback from an unbiased source: the horse.
Lazy Horse Ranch offers several programs for youth. Call us for information on our after school programs and summer and spring break camps.
