Description:

Whispering Manes' core programs include:

Therapeutic Horsemanship:
Is a hands-on program that uses the interactions and relationships between horses and humans in an environment of learning and self-discovery. It is designed to promote personal growth and the development of positive social/life skills in a relaxed and supportive environment. Through a curriculum of activities designed to address individual goals and needs, each equine interaction is framed to help participants learn and grow. The barn environment lends itself as a unique multi-sensory classroom. Each week the participants explore a new concept (i.e. trust, body language, managing risk, boundaries) through the eyes of their horse. As comfort and confidence levels grow, students tackle new activities, building their self-confidence. This program is designed to build confidence, leadership and horse knowledge, while improving social skills and having fun.

Therapeutic Horseback Riding:
Is a mounted program in which participants are taught horseback riding skills while simultaneously working on cognitive, physical, and/or emotional objectives. Through activities designed to address individual needs, each riding lesson is planned to help participants achieve their personal goals. Students build confidence, self-esteem, and leadership skills while learning to ride. As riders gain comfort and confidence they will tackle new and more challenging riding activities which stimulates motor skills and sensory awareness. Therapeutic Horseback Riding is tied to specific learning objectives set by the therapeutic riding instructor with input from participants, parents, teachers, and caregivers.

Whispering Manes has a program specifically for Military Veterans. We offer current and former service personnel suffering with physical disabilities, post-traumatic stress disorder, and other anxiety disorders the opportunity to learn horsemanship and horseback riding. Our goal is to provide veterans with a quiet, peaceful environment where they can learn to interact with horses in a way that encourages emotional healing, and a pathway to readjust to civilian life. By facing new challenges in a safe and secure setting, service members take important steps towards regaining control of their lives.
