E47- Rosie's Ranch and the Benefits of Equine Therapy


Listen Later

Rosie's Ranch strives to "provide an inclusive therapeutic riding environment where children, with and without special needs, are able to connect with an equine partner and each other under the guidance of qualified staff, building self-confidence, literacy, and language skills through educational and equine-assisted activities"(Rosiesranch.com).
