The best way to help children not become victims of bullies is by teaching them bully-proofing skills. Victims of bullies usually exhibit poor communication skills and tend to be left out of activities, leaving them isolated. Our equine assisted learning programs have proven to be ideal for a child who exhibits anti-social communication skills as they provide training in social skills which improves communication skills, emotional, physical, mental and spiritual wellness, self-esteem, and encourages sensory stimulation and ultimately, integration.
WHY CREATE MORE VICTIMS?
A child with bullying issues may be just as much a victim in his own life as the child he directs his aggression towards. Many bullies are children who have been overlooked, misdiagnosed, suffering from neurological disabilities, or abused children themselves. Our equine therapy programs are ideal for a child who exhibits aggressive behavior by promoting positive leadership skills, developing choice-making skills and goal-setting skills and encouraging responsibility, creativity and laughter.

This interactive youth program is specifically designed to ensure the learning and retention of necessary life skills to aid in each youth’s personal growth. It is an excellent approach with the horses being the teacher as the horse has "loud teachable moments" that they never forget. This gives the participants an experience to pull from when they are faced with choices in everyday life as they build strong solid skills working with their teacher.
This program runs over a 4 week session. This allows our facilitators to not only ensure the effectiveness of the course but also to track the advancements of each of the participants. Your tween will gain valuable life skills that will enable them to tackle life’s challenges with courage and confidence.
Each week focuses on a specific objective and all participants receive a certificate of completion.
