How is the ranchs therapuetic environment unique?
There is no other program in the United States based on the rescue of abused horses, pairing them with disadvangated children for therapy, with one leader/one hourse/one child, free of charge. For disadvantaged children who visit the ranch, the equine assisted care is much more than pony rides. The ranchs programming success is based on a one to one learning environment (one child with one counselor and one horse) dedicated to restoring the heart, soul, mind and strength of the child. Unlike some ranchs which focus only on physical healing, Crystal Peaks also works with children who experience invisible challenges of the mind and spirit. The program is always free of cost to partcipants.
