  • Hands-on Donkey for Children

Equine-assisted healing

N.E.I.G.H. (National Equine Institute for Growth through Healing) program

Horses have a unique way of sensing and mimicking human behavior and emotions. Equine Assisted Therapy allows humans to interact and connect with horses and each other in a non-threatening, non-judgmental atmosphere. Through these interactions, emotional and behavioral tendencies are uncovered and encountered under the supervision of a certified instructor.

This unique program, for Individuals and groups, is a facilitated interaction with our gentle horses to support emotional and mental health healing for issues such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, self-harm, self-esteem issues, and abusive relationships. N.E.I.G.H. participation can be standalone or integrated with current therapy and support involving mental health professionals. Using the Emotional Coat Model, participants learn to identify behaviors, traits, and communications via the horses rather than directly, providing a more open and less threatening approach for discussion, empathy, and reflection.

Our HomeFarm staff are trained facilitators for equine-assisted activities and learning; however, they are not therapists.

Custom programs are available for children, adults, families, schools, human services organizations, and other nonprofits. Our animals are always willing to help.
