ANGEL MISSION

Our barn address is 6930 county road 36, Killen AL 35645

Horse therapy involves interactions between individuals and horses to support emotional, physical, and cognitive development. Techniques include grooming, riding, and ground exercises, which help clients build trust, confidence, and communication skills.

A consultation with an equine professional can help assess whether equine therapy aligns with specific goals and needs. This initial discussion often includes evaluating past therapy experiences, challenges, and personal interests.

Equine-assisted learning (EAL) focuses on personal development and problem-solving through horse interactions.

Interactive Equine Care (IEC) emphasizes hands-on horse care for emotional and cognitive benefits.

Hippotherapy uses horse movement for physical, occupational, or speech therapy.

Therapeutic riding enhances physical and emotional well-being through mounted exercises.

No prior experience with horses is needed.

Equine therapy is typically suitable for all ages, from children to seniors.

For safety reasons, we require all participants to wear closed-toe shoes when working with horses. Additionally, we recommend wearing long pants for riding to provide comfort and protection. Weather-appropriate attire, sunscreen, and bug repellent are also advised.

To help maintain an allergy-friendly environment, we kindly ask that any spray-on products be applied before arrival.

Sessions usually last 30-60 minutes, depending on the program and individual needs.

Sessions may include grooming, leading, or riding the horse, with activities tailored to the client’s goals.
