We firmly believe individuals can learn the why, when, where, and how of social behavior, but they need the help and support of significant adults in their lives. Learning new behaviors and using them often enough for them to become habit requires patience and support from the family. Your child will make progress much faster when you take an active role in their learning. Raising a child with social behavior deficits is challenging and requires understanding, and above all patience. Our practical workshops and parent training classes are essential. They provide the knowledge needed to gain a better understanding of your child, and they will increase ability to manage behavioral challenges. In addition, you will have the opportunity to network with other parents struggling with similar issues, who will become valuable resources for you as you continue your journey with your child.

This movement produces weight bearing through limbs and joints, rotation of the pelvis, sensory stimulation, and strengthening and stretching of muscles. All are vital to a person with a disability as their exposure to physical exercise is often limited. Communication, therapy and educational benefits along with life skill development are also focused on in addition to learning equestrian skills. A 501(C)(3) Non Profit Organization.

TRUTH was created after a short encounter with a small child who had no legs. Her first lesson with me actually changed my life and taught me more than I could imagine. She was lifted onto a horse with a bareback pad. Holding onto a single handle, she became FREE, with 4 legs and riding all over the arena with great joy.
