ROSES offers equine facilitated learning and therapies for individuals living with disability, dementia, grief, and/or other disadvantages or extenuating circumstances. While the content of our program focuses on horses, the benefit of involvement reaches well beyond the barn. Participants their caregivers, and other professionals report positive growth in the areas of self-esteem and social interaction, emotional and psychological well-being, physical confidence and stability, as well as improvements in academic achievement and family relationships. Programs at ROSES are presented with compassion, hope, patience, and humility. Compassion comes from our deep desire to help; hope from believing our efforts will effect positive change; patience in waiting for changes to occur in an individual's own time; and humility as we are privileged to see those changes manifesting in people's lives beyond the scope of the School.
