The value of Human and Equine-Assisted Learning Interactions is limitless. “Everyone should have the opportunity to experience the wellness benefits of bonding and connecting with horses.” Rescue Remedy: Connecting Humans and Horses is a trademarked program offering that was initially developed as part of a graduate academic research paper and project. The pilot program was a successful endeavor held in November 2022 in collaboration with an equine rescue and rehabilitation center.

We offer equine-assisted learning opportunities through programs, events and partnerships within the community and beyond.
