Devon Healing Horsemanship - Abigail's story

6/11/2024

0 Comments

 
Picture
"Abigail was referred to us by her school after she had disengaged from education due to her complex emotional and behavioural challenges. Her difficulties with anxiety and engagement outside her home had isolated her significantly.
 
Since starting a program with Devon Healing Horsemanship Abigail has made notable progress through tailored activities focusing on calmness and problem-solving Each session with the horses taught her the value of staying calm and focused, and as she grew more settled, so did the horses, making each task easier. She's learned to break down tasks into manageable steps and has shown great improvement in her ability to handle challenges independently.
 
Abigail’s journey exemplifies the transformation we strive to achieve through our program, which focuses on calmness and problem-solving."
