Advice from a horse:
Take life’s hurdles in stride, loosen the reins when you need to, carry your friends when they’re struggling, and always keep a steady pace.


At Learn to Live Recovery, we believe in the power of equine therapy and its profound impact on emotional healing and personal growth. Horses have an incredible ability to reflect our emotions, helping us develop emotional awareness, practice impulse control, build trust, and foster empathy. Not to mention, the sheer presence of these majestic animals can significantly reduce stress, allowing us to refocus and center ourselves.


Working with horses offers a unique approach to addiction recovery, guiding individuals to navigate life’s challenges with grace and stability. Many of our residents have had the opportunity to practice these invaluable skills through equine therapy, finding both comfort and growth through their interactions with these gentle creatures.


Here at Learn to Live, we love watching our residents embrace the benefits of equine therapy, building their strength, confidence, and emotional resilience one step at a time.


Whether you're facing life’s hurdles or learning to trust again, sometimes the best lessons come from our four-legged friends.
