Extras at Dakota Boys and Girls Ranch

One interesting approach to healing that the staff at the Dakota Boys and Girls Ranch offers is a chance to try the equine therapy – an approach that uses the emotional relationship that is created between a human being and an animal, in this case, a horse. While the children are enjoying their riding classes, they are in fact participating in a highly-effective therapy approach that has emotional, physical and social benefits for the patient.

The horse and the patient together participate in different activities that allow the patient to create a bond with the horse and with that to heal from the problem that got the patient to the Dakota Boys and Girls Ranch in the first place.
