Program Guide
Research shows that being outside in nature helps cognitive, physical and emotional development, as well as building resilience and imagination which are so important for a fulfilled life. Our program aims to reduce ‘screen time’ for people of all ages by turning it into ‘green time’. Help reconnect your children to the fun of being outdoors with animals as they learn important life skills.

Your emotions are information about what is happening for you in the here and now.They help you understand yourself, immediate needs and your actions.
Life is sometimes good and sometimes difficult. What skills have the horses taught us to support us through life’s challenges?
