As the concept of healing and horses becomes accepted within the local and expanded equine community, we envision creating a center for education. The varying new and exciting formats in which horses and people interact for mutual learning and growth is expanding on the West coast. The field of equine-assisted psychotherapy for youth and trauma survivors is well established as a successful alternative to traditional methods of treatment. Many rehabilitated horses are capable of becoming tremendous teachers and compassionate mirrors for humans in need of emotional and spiritual help.
Our capacity to provide horses with new careers, and to supply a safe place for creative, deep healing for wounded humans feels timely and would clearly fill a gap in our present health care system. Criehaven will offer teachers, nurses, doctors, and therapists of all kinds the place and opportunity to incorporate emotional learning into their own practices for the health and betterment of their unique clientele. With the onset of post-traumatic stress disorder in our communities, such a service could embrace all areas of mental health care and business personnel management. Our goals for seeking balance and self-awareness remain our core motivation. We hope you will join us on our journey.
