Second Chance Ranch - Leading With Horses


 

About

Second Chance Ranch serves as a sanctuary for a special collection of retired sport horses offering an innovative animal assisted platform for mental, behavioral and physical health professionals to utilize.  Leading With Horses (LWH) is our Equine Facilitated psychotherapy (EFP) program that delivers a unique non-riding alternative to conventional talk and other behavioral therapies.

We have as our main goal, interaction and partnership with healthcare providers and professionals to achieve a more holistic and comprehensive approach in providing solutions and treatment.  Leading with Horses is the only platform with a workspace that is open to all licensed mental health professionals, and designed for them to participate in the process.

With this large reach into the health professional field, we can optimize collaboration and maximize the positive impact on our community.  Our platform is not intended to be the sole location of a therapist’s practice, however, we provide a workspace and collaborative opportunity for both for-profit and nonprofits who could not otherwise offer animal assisted therapy to their clients.  

Our program serves any person(s) of the community who are being treated by a licensed healthcare professional.  Some of the critical issues society faces today are substance abuse, suicide prevention, anger management and anti-bullying.  Leading With Horses provides an environment that fosters emotional growth and healing to those who are moving forward from physical or mental trauma, with a special focus on family counseling.

We offer an environment where mental health professionals can assess their client/patient by observing them engaging in problem solving tasks, or confidence building and self-awareness lessons. Parents and caregivers can put tools into action – real-time lessons under the guidance of their therapist. It is our belief that creative learning environments will put children and young adults on the path to becoming tomorrow’s forward thinkers, innovators and leaders.
