to help heal emotional problems in children

Hooves for HeartPrints is a therapeutic horseback riding program where minds are healed through the intervention of equine companions.

 Every course is tailored to the individual needs of each child and will provide:

  • increased self esteem
  • enhanced body awareness
  • better balance
  • longer attention span
  • improved listening skills

  • growth in self control
  • improved academic ability

Hooves for HeartPrints currently offers therapeutic riding lessons between April and mid-November; weather permitting.  Classes are given in Airway Heights (west of Spokane), and are one-on-one.  A parent is required to participate at each lesson.  Parent participation builds trust and attachment between parent and child.

Every parent needs to assume the responsibility for their own child and make their own decisions as to the techniques and methodologies to use with their child. "
