Stable Moments ~ Equine Assisted Life Coaching PrograM

.When life feels unsteady, find your stable. Healing lives in these moments

 

​​The Stable Moments Program is a 7-week equine assisted life coaching experience designed to help children (8+) and adults impacted by ACEs, overwhelm, stress, trauma, anxiety or depression build the skills, confidence and connection they need to thrive - both in and out of the arena. 

​

What are ACEs?

"ACE, Adverse Childhood Experiences, are potentially traumatic events that happen in childhood and can have long-term impacts on health, opportunity and well-being. They are more common than you may think but fortunately, safe, stable, nurturing relationships and environments can buffer children from this harm and prevent many ACEs from happening in the first place. Positive childhood experiences (PCEs) create the safe, stable and nurturing environment children and adolescents need to thrive." ~American Academy of Pediatrics

Enrollment Process: The safety of the students and horses are paramount at HOPE. Our enrollment process is thorough. We make every effort to accept students into our program as quickly as possible. The enrollment process includes:

1. Registration: Complete and submit the Registration Form and Scholarship Application if you are requesting additional coverage.

2. New Participant Assessment: Once the forms have been reviewed you will be scheduled for a phone Assessment. All participants receive an Individual Development Plan (IDP) detailing goals for you or your child's time at HOPE. During the assessment we will discuss the participants health history, background, strengths/weakness and goals.  This allows us to create the participant IDP and place the participant in the class that aligns best for their abilities and goals.  

3. Enrollment: The participant will then be enrolled for the next available agreed upon session. Additional information will be discussed during enrollment. Classes may be individual or in small groups.

4. Learn, Ride, Lead! The participant will attend a 1.5 hour weekly session for 7 weeks for each term of enrollment. Sessions are the same day and time each week unless otherwise stated for a specific program.
