The first is a special time for families to come together for a fun bonding experience with each other and the horses. During this quality time and unique type of session, they hope the dynamic between parent/guardian and child will be strengthened through encouragement, games and fellowship. Second, at Glory Reins Ranch they use Horse Paint Therapy, a nonverbal therapeutic tool, to help reach those who have difficulty expressing painful experiences in words. This process is used as a bridge in order to see into the world of our guest and what they may be dealing with. By discovering what the source of the pain is, we can focus our efforts to aid in healing.

Challenges can be big or small but they are all important. The importance lies in how they are approached internally with staff & volunteers, because ultimately they will affect the populations they serve. The EAGALA model has the flexibility to not only be EAP (Equine Assisted Psychotherapy) but also EAL (Equine Assisted Learning). Clinic attendees from the audience, who are willing to share a work related challenge, are invited to work through it in the ring with Dianne, Kristin and Wings of Hope horses.
