We created Horses for K.I.C.'s to offer a unique approach to promoting wellness for children, particularly children being cared for outside their birth families.  ​
 

In partnering with horses, we are able to connect with young people to develop real skills through tailored activities that guide them in a self-directed process.  We create the opportunity, promote safety and offer insight and skill development.  The horse offers a safe emotional place and immediate natural feedback.

Children often feel safer and more anchored when interacting with the horse.  It is a powerful healing connection that appears almost magical yet is rooted in science.  Horses naturally promote a sense of calm emotional balance and even connect organically with those they work with.

Our spaces are trauna informed and we have experience supporting young people with:

• Depression

• Attachment Disorders

• Anxiety

• Grief and Loss

• Trauma

• FASD

• Physical limitations

• Challenging behaviours
