On The Bit LLC, offers assistance to those people who are dealing with mental health issues. We have equine-assisted learning programs and therapeutic riding that can surely help our clients connect with themselves and enjoy being with the horses. For the layout of our program, we run a 10 week 1 session per week instead of having a 1-day session to avoid cramming all the fun into one day.

Our clients will have an opportunity to create a bond with the horses in addition to riding, grooming, and learning about care and upkeep. In addition, you will learn about yourself through the biofeedback horses naturally give in reaction to human feelings, mood, and behavior. Most of all you will have fun and feel good!
