Corral Riding Academy: Empowering Adolescent Girls through Equine Therapy and Education
Corral Riding Academy is a faith-motivated nonprofit organization that aims to empower adolescent girls who are in high-risk situations. The academy offers a long-term, holistic program of equine therapy and education to help these young women overcome their challenges and achieve their full potential.
Equine therapy has been proven to be an effective form of therapy for individuals with mental health issues, behavioral problems, and other emotional challenges. At Corral Riding Academy, we use horses as a tool for healing and growth. Our equine-assisted activities and therapies (EAAT) program includes horseback riding lessons, ground work exercises, grooming sessions, and other activities that promote physical, emotional, social, cognitive, and spiritual development.
Our program is designed to provide a safe space where adolescent girls can learn new skills, build self-confidence and self-esteem while developing healthy relationships with others. We believe that every girl deserves the opportunity to thrive regardless of her background or circumstances.
Our team consists of experienced professionals who are passionate about helping young women overcome their challenges. Our staff includes licensed therapists who specialize in equine-assisted psychotherapy (EAP), certified riding instructors who teach horsemanship skills in a fun yet challenging way; academic tutors who provide individualized support for academic success; mentors who offer guidance on life skills such as goal-setting decision-making communication conflict resolution problem-solving leadership teamwork responsibility accountability respect empathy gratitude forgiveness resilience perseverance self-care spirituality; volunteers from the community who serve as role models positive influences cheerleaders advocates friends.
We also partner with local schools social service agencies juvenile justice systems faith-based organizations other nonprofits to identify girls who could benefit from our services. We work closely with each girl's family caregivers case managers probation officers teachers counselors pastors mentors etc., to ensure that she receives the support she needs both inside outside our program.
Our curriculum is based on evidence-based practices research best practices industry standards Christian values principles. We use a trauma-informed approach which means we recognize that many of our participants have experienced trauma or adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). We strive to create an environment where they feel safe supported validated respected heard understood loved accepted valued empowered challenged inspired transformed healed renewed.
