Creating stable moments for foster and adopted children
The Program
The Stable Moments program is a weekly mentorship program utilizing equine assisted learning to achieve life skills that better prepare foster and adopted children for healthy transitions into adulthood.
​
​Although we work with horses, this is not a riding program.
Children develop a relationship with their assigned horse to work on life skills. ​
The Stable Moments Model is designed to serve children who have experienced early developmental trauma. Eligible participants have been in or currently are in foster care, or have been adopted.
​
Although the model is designed to serve children ages 3-17, check your particular location for their age requirements.
