About the business

Our Equine Assisted Psychotherapy programs are a way of addressing children's therapeutic goals through experiences with horses.

The therapy provides a safe environment for children to self-explore, build self-awareness of patterns, behaviours and habits, for the intention of personal development and social-emotional learning.

Our programs are delivered by registered Counsellors and include grooming, touching, meeting and/or observing horses, obstacle challenges and mounted experiences.

Due to rapid expansion of these services we are seeking an assistant to support our established programs.
