We calm down and become more centered and focused in the present when we are with horses. We are transformed in a very positive way when in the presence of horses. It is no wonder that the beneficial effects of positive and appropriate interaction with horses should prove therapeutic to grownups and children alike. Startling improvement has been observed in children with various mental and emotional challenges from A.D.D. to Autism, to anti-social violent behavior. Franklin Offers a program uniquely taylored to these individuals and their families.
