Get to Know Us
Get to Know Us
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.

Both Cheryl and Kathi train their horses using natural horsemanship and carry this method throughout their work with clients. Safety for humans and horses is paramount.
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!
We are a small business which is our goal as this provides individualized programs to meet the needs of different clients. Our assisted trail riding allows us to provide a true learning experience and offers time for reflection and feedback while enjoying the beauty and freedom of our trails.
