Equi-Angels is dedicated to providing effective mental health, substance abuse, personal growth and educational services for children, adolescents, adults, couples, families, camps and corporate groups.
Our Mission:
Equi-Angels promotes balance and enhances the mental health and life skills of participants through therapeutic interaction with the horses. We work on healing and integration of mind, body and spirit.
Equi-Angels partners with Rockin Horse Farm/Horse Connections, a non profit horse facility owned and operated by Amy Baird. For additional information, please visit www.horseconnection.org or www.rockinhorsefarm.org. They are located on 17 beautiful acres in New Port Richey, FL. We also offer a facility in Citrus County. We offer the 2 locations and a mobile program to better serve the needs of our communities.
We are EAGALA trained and certified. EAGALA is the Equine Assisted Growth and Learning Association. For additional info please visit www.EAGALA.org.
We are not a therapeutic riding program; our activities are on the ground and do not require knowledge of horses. A typical session consists of experiential, hands on activities and processing.
