Welcome to Pony Pathways!
Welcome to Pony Pathways Equine Assisted Learning—a place to experience transformation, empowerment, and connected relationships! With the help from my pony partners I offer an unconventional process for you to discover self-acceptance, confidence and resilience to life’s challenges.
With over 25+ years of experience working with at-risk children and families I am excited to combine my deep love for horses and my commitment to serve others in living more peaceful and fulfilled lives. Thank you for joining me on this journey–I am honored to walk this path with you!
Our Services
Introductory Session (Meet and Greet!)
$100. (Approximately 60 minutes)
In this first intro session you will meet our equine partners and see which horse will be the best to fit your needs.
We will get to know each other and get to know the horses. You’ll become comfortable with the ranch and safety rules and you will begin to learn about the principles of Natural Lifemanship and how we include those in our Pony Pathways sessions.
Full Equine Assisted Session—Non-Riding
$150. (Approximately 90 minutes)
During a full Equine Assisted Learning session the process of learning connection with your equine partner will begin. Connection is the foundation of all our relationships and in our busy stress filled lives it’s easy to lose that sense of connection—with others, with ourselves, with the present and with our own bodies. Equine Assisted Learning sessions will help you gain a deeper internal sense of connection—while working through feelings of anxiety, powerlessness and emotional wounds.
Advanced Session—Guided Riding
$200. (Approximately 2 hours)
When you are ready, you will have the opportunity to ride your equine partner or as we like to say in Natural Lifemanship, allow your equine partner to “carry you”. This will happen in a safe arena and your horse will be lead by the facilitator or an equine professional who will monitor your horse’s experience as well as maintain complete safety for you. No riding experience is needed to participate in these sessions and as the horse carries you around the arena, you will be able to work on balance (both physically and emotionally).
