New Partnership Will Build Life Skills with Endangered Newfoundland Ponies

From our friends at True Hope Therapeutic Horsemanship -  We are so excited!!

"True Hope Therapeutic Horsemanship is thrilled to announce the creation of a new, un-mounted, life-skills development program with the Newfoundland Pony Conservancy Center (NPCC) in Jaffrey, NH.
The NPCC is a breed specific organization dedicated to saving and preserving the critically endangered Newfoundland Pony individually and the breed as a whole.
We are still working out the details, but we plan to offer 6-week sessions to adults and kids using the endangered Newfoundland Ponies as co-teachers with Emily Aho as the facilitator.
Emily is the co-founder and Executive Director of the Newfoundland Pony Conservancy Center and she is a Certified Facilitator through the Equine Connection Academy of Equine Assisted Learning. Over the next few months, True HopeTherapeutic Horsemanship will be working with Emily to develop a program tailored specifically to our True Hope clientele.
This new program will be a type of EQUINE ASSISTED LEARNING (EAL), an experiential learning approach that promotes the development of life skills for educational, professional and/or personal goals through interaction with horses. Un-mounted interaction with horses can help children and adults build self-confidence, respect towards others, groundedness, quiet and calm assertiveness, gentleness, emotional connection, and embodiment. Horses are very sensitive to the energy and mindset of the people near them, and a skilled guide and teacher can use what the horses are telling her about the participants to facilitate learning and growth.
We can’t wait to begin working with the beautiful Newfoundland Ponies. For more information on the NPCC, go to https://www.newfoundlandponies.org or contact Emily at [email protected].
