Equine Assisted Therapy for
Children in Need

HH Stables is a 501 c (3) non-profit charitable organization. Our mission is to bring harmony, hope, and healing into the lives of youth in need and provide them a therapeutic and educational experience from which they can learn and grow.

We combine music activities and equine-assisted learning in a therapeutic environment to give children a safe place to explore their emotions, cope with anxieties, and simply be themselves. Our programs are especially helpful for kids with autism, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, anxiety, history of abuse, post-traumatic stress disorder, and depression.

Our music and equine therapy programs help us achieve our mission. With your support we can provide for another child on our waiting list.
Please consider donating today for our cause.

THE HEALING POWER OF MUSIC AND HORSES

Why Horses

Horses are prey animals and have a herd mentality. The herd leader is the strongest member, known as the alpha. Horses are highly sensitive to the emotions of the person handling them. They are our mirrors; equines can perceive our feelings and thoughts and reflect them immediately in their body language.

If you want to build a trusting relationship with a horse, he will need to feel safe and you will need to learn how to communicate in his nonverbal world. This requires you to become present in the moment, find patience and develop a strong sense of self awareness. Once you acquire the skills needed to reach this goal, the horse will follow you just like he follows the alpha in his herd and you will gain valuable life skills to carry with you forever.

There are countless skills you can gain when partnering with a horse such as:

CONFIDENCE / FOCUS / ASSERTIVENESS / CALMNESS / SELF REGULATION

Why Music

Since the earliest days of humankind, the power of music has been evident to us. From its ceremonial origin to modern medical usage for personal motivation, concentration, and shifting mood, music is a powerful balm for the human soul. Music has been scientifically studied for centuries and has proven to be both educational and therapeutic. At Harmony Hope Stables we offer guitar and ukulele music lessons, host music therapy groups, drum circles, songwriting sessions, music concerts and we even incorporate music into our equine assisted learning sessions every chance we get!
