Cancer Support
The healing power of horses is particularly impactful through the two cancer support programs we offer.
We work with a variety of of professionals to provide services to individuals affected by breast, and other forms of cancers. Participants learn to groom, care for and ride a horse while providing opportunities to talk and share family experiences.
In the summer of 2021, we also introduced Equine-Assisted Cancer Journey Clinics for breast cancer survivors and their families or caretakers. In partnership with Judy ViaCava, BSW, LMT, certified cancer coach, Special Equestrians hosts three-hour therapeutic equine clinics that include ground-driven activities. The program incorporates our therapy horses in activities that help attendees face fear, ask for assistance and build connectedness.
