Equine therapy ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Is not about riding horses; it’s about building relationships with them. Gifted children engage in activities such as grooming, feeding, and leading horses, which fosters trust and empathy. These interactions help them understand the impact of their behavior on others, both human and animal. Through these sessions, children can confront their fears, work through emotional blockages, and develop a sense of responsibility. Simply being near an animal as large, powerful, and personally attentive as a horse helps instill an intuitive ability to sense the impact of one’s actions and emotions on another creature. typesetting industry​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The Success of Equine Therapy at Nature U Ranch​​​​​​​

Of this methodology is new to you, we encourage you to research equine therapy and its results in trauma victims. Stories like these are a testament to the power of equine therapy in fostering emotional healing and personal growth, and it’s why we utilize this methodology with every student who comes through our ranch.​​​​​​​

The Emotional Impact of Equine Therapy
One of the reasons equine therapy is so effective is that it provides immediate, honest feedback. Horses respond to the emotions and actions of the children, helping them recognize and address their own emotional states. For instance, if the handler of a horse is stressed, frantic, or exhibiting fear (common emotional states in trauma victims or those suffering from mental/emotional disturbances the horse might respond to this handler by being standoffish, uncooperative, etc. However, if the person working with the horse can remain calm, regulated, and speak soothingly, the animal is far more likely to respond with affection and willingness. This non-verbal communication can lead to profound insights and breakthroughs, especially for boys who may struggle with traditional talk therapy.​​​​​​​

The Transformative Power of Equine Therapy​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
Equine therapy is one of the cornerstones of our treatment approach at Nature U Ranch. Our staff has years of experience with this technique. This unique form of therapy involves working with horses to help children develop emotional awareness, improve communication skills, and build self-esteem. Horses, being highly intuitive animals, often mirror the emotions of those around them, creating a powerful dynamic where children  can learn about themselves in a non-judgmental environment.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Nature U Ranch​​​​​​​

At Nature U Ranch, the children are surrounded by open spaces, fresh air, and the soothing sights and sounds of nature—all of which contribute to a more effective therapeutic experience. We take regular, daily, time to be in the outdoors challenging our minds and bodies to engage the physical, natural world so that every boy here can experience the world in front of their eyes and feel the dirt, wood, and wind on their body. Some of this is through work, some through play, and some is experienced through therapeutic experiences with our horses and ranch animals. All activity is monitored and supervised by experienced staff, and all students here are taught safe, practical procedures for the activities in which they participate.​​​​​​​
