Horse Sense

Equine Assisted Learning Program

We are committed to help humans and horses alike, and we believe in the powerful effect of mutual healing through the human-horse relationship. This scientifically proven model is based on the unique qualities of the horse to sense and react to human emotions.

The horses’ way of reacting to our emotions and body language is always immediate, honest, non-judgmental and benevolent.

Adopt me Spotlight

Rory is a beautiful pony mare waiting for a patient and equine experienced home. She is currently in training working on building a repertoire of skills including haltering, leading, grooming, and hoof care.
If you are looking for a sensitive, perceptive soul who will bond with you deeply, Heidi is your girl. When she came to us, she was fearful of being handled, and quick to respond defensively. Through positive reinforcement training, she has a newfound trust in humans and has become an extremely dedicated student.
