Offering help in paradise.
Enjoy the breathtaking beauty of Nova Scotia while we help:
Reading
Issues affecting learning are identified and made visible by the client, through the use of obstacles (toys and props), which symbolize stumbling blocks that get in the way of understanding
Confidence
Memory retention and recall improve dramatically when movement anchors learning
Issues getting in the way of academic and social emotional growth are addressed by our expert team in the moment
Self efficacy
Sessions allow students a chance to reflect on what they are experiencing and provide an opportunity to create new patterns of learning in a supported environment
Skills & Connections
Students are allowed to choose their own horse to work with, just as they would choose a book to read
Students are then given an opportunity to connect with their chosen “book”
Reading has the power to change lives
Listen to Dr. Michele Pickel share about HPR on “Not Just a Pony Ride” podcast
Dr. Pickel was featured in a recent interview with Dr. Lori Kogan, of Human- Animal Interaction, a division of the American Psychology Association.
