Rob combines Equine Experiential Training with Natural Horsemanship to create and facilitate therapeutic programming to aid in the growth and learning of the clients at Asheville Academy for Girls. Our girls benefit greatly from Horse Therapy. They are allowed to connect with the horses and through this connection they can truly start to examine their relationships with others.   While in a safe environment the horses help our girls work on their non-verbal communication skills and learn to build trust with others.
