Their calming presence reduces stress and aids in emotional regulation—crucial components of trauma healing. What You Can Expect:
Transformative & Fun! With each session, you'll learn valuable skills while having a blast with your horse. The program combines the healing power of animals and nature to give youth the tools they need to navigate life’s challenges. Affordable for Everyone:
Stable Moments® Studies have shown that horses can be incredibly effective partners in trauma recovery. Horses are highly attuned to human emotions and respond to nonverbal cues, helping participants become more aware of their own feelings and behaviors. This emotional awareness, combined with the calming presence of horses, supports the regulation of emotions and reduces stress—key components of trauma healing. By interacting with horses in this safe and supportive environment, youth can develop skills like decision-making, self-regulation, and executive functioning. The long-term relationships formed with both their mentor and horse create a foundation for building trust and overcoming trauma. With the help of these science-backed methods, Stable Moments® provides youth with the tools they need to navigate challenges and thrive in their future. |
