“There are three “C’s” in life: Choice, Chance, Change. Make a Choice to take a Chance if you want life to Change.”
Zig Ziglar

At the Las Vegas Family Equestrian Center we are all about confronting and conquering obstacles and changing lives in the process. We offer an empowering series of equestrian programs and activities (riding and non-riding) for Veterans/First Responders with PTSD, victims of domestic abuse and violence, recovering addicts, at-risk youth and teens, and others in our community who need a hand up, not a hand out. Our programs are funded by grants, donations and sponsorships and facilitated by O.K. Corral series certified instructors. We also offer leadership training and team building programs.

Group Workshops at Horses4Heroes

8★9★10: RIDE TO WIN

Our version of an “anti-bullying” program, this four-week series teaches elementary school students about Respect, Communication, Empathy and passive Conflict Resolution. Our goal? To create empowered students who are not easy targets for playground or classroom bullies!

BACK IN THE SADDLE™

This program focuses on transitional issues for Veterans with PTS/MST/TBI and family members.

WHOA!

This is a powerful program for victims of domestic abuse and violence. Teaching abused women and children to find their voice and say WHOA with confidence, while learning how to assert themselves without negative consequences is a game changer!

UNFINISHED BUSINESS™

Who among us does NOT have unfinished business? Something we want to say or didn’t get the chance to say, a final hug, a chance to say “good bye, ” or “I’m sorry” or “I love you.” This four-week workshop provides the closure we seek and need to heal and move on!

RIDE2RECOVER™

Many in recovery programs have trust issues, so do horses. They also have control issues. Equine therapy in a treatment program allows patients to connect with their emotions and feelings. In working with horses, feelings of fear, anger, resentment, loneliness, joy and peace are brought to the surface.

HERD MANAGEMENT

A parenting workshop with horses for moms, dads, grandparents and others who are raising children today!

FOSTER FARM

A program especially for Foster Children, Teens, and Foster Parents.

Individuals, Couples, Families

HEALING THROUGH BASIC HORSEMANSHIP

We use horses and basic horsemanship to empower children and teens, we work on verbal communication skills, build self esteem and self confidence, learn to trust and be trustworthy, to stay focused and on task.

C.O.N.N.E.C.T

This program is about helping individuals and families reconnect after long periods of absence due to deployment, illness or injury. We also can work with families before deployment to successfully pass the baton from one family member to another!
