What We Do
Courage provides services for a wide range of individuals; there's something for everyone.
Utilizing natural horsemanship methods, we promote exploring perspectives, connectedness, communication, the importance of strong leadership, and good decision-making. The horses teach concrete lessons that often times are difficult to learn elsewhere in life. Courage offers a safe place for individuals seeking clarity, direction, healing, and peace of mind.
​
Each session is assessed based on goals and objectives set by our professional staff of PATH-certified instructors and the client's support team (i.e. parents, teachers, community leaders, doctors, mental health professionals)
Courage uses evidence-based practices to provide individualized lesson plans and determine which program is the best match for each client.
Our Vision
