ETC Mission
ETC uses the equine experience as a tool for emotional growth and learning. The program is not limited to only the art of riding, but also utilizes the task of caring for the horse and the bonds that form through this caring as a means to establish trust, respect and responsibility. The goal of the program is to motivate, diminish anxieties, develop trust, learn self-evaluation, increase self-esteem and develop or enhance socialization skills.
ETC encourages a healthy balance between the development of group skills and focus of self. Learning how to interact appropriately with authority figures and to treat others with respect are also key objectives.
