ANIMALS

Our gentle and friendly animals provide many women with a sense of safety and familiarity. The horses enjoy human interaction but are not for riding.

THE VALUE OF ANIMAL INTERACTION

  • We are not a certified animal therapy program; however, there can be emotional benefits for those who choose to interact with the animals alongside our Property Manager Suzanne. 

  • For some, this may provide a second opportunity to build confidence in caregiving and nurturing that may have been lost.

  • Hands-on contact with the animals, whether by feeding, grooming, or walking them, can develop a relationship of respect and trust. This may result in feelings of acceptance, being needed, and loved unconditionally.
