Heal & Grow

Restore Self Confidence

Horses can recognize human emotions by facial expressions and vocal expressions.  Even more interesting is the fact that they remember the emotional state of the human from their last interaction.  Interacting with a 1200 pound majestic animal teaches self-confidence and emotional control.
