Things to do at Friendship Ranch

Activities

Equine Assisted Services

Equine Assisted Services for all abilities involve relationship based interactions between individuals and horses to promote physical, emotional, cognitive and social well-being.  These Services cater to individuals of varying abilities, including those with physical disabilities, neurodiversity, mental health challenges and developmental disorders.  Through structured activities and interventions, Equine Assisted Services aim to enhance safety, relaxation, communication, sensory processing, motor skills, self-confidence and overall quality of life for participants. This relationship based approach integrates the unique qualities of horses, such as their empathy, nonverbal communication, and gentle nature,  to facilitate personal growth and empowerment in individuals of all abilities.

Another component of FRR is to emphasize the value of undemanded time spent with the animals or in our safe space sensory house, Jude’s Place. Individuals have their freedom to connect with the animals in a relaxed and non-pressurized environment or utilize the sensory space to regulate. This concept recognizes the therapeutic benefits of simply being in the moment, fostering calm, reflection , and emotional regulation. Un-demanded time allows participants to develop emotional awareness contributing to their overall well-being and personal development journey.
