TESTIMONIALS
As a parent of four young children, I have often struggled with both complete exhaustion and overwhelm. My time at the farm and drawing upon the resources of Bridges at Worthmore have helped me to address overwhelming feelings and emotions, some which I was unable to concretely identify. Through the work I have done with the horses in a mostly therapeutic setting, I have been able to address many of these challenges as a woman, a parent, and as a wife. Though the horses are not able to remove the challenges I experience, they have enlightened me on how I can better address my own thoughts, feelings and emotions. Though nothing ever really gets “fixed,” I am better equipped personally to address my own challenges and opportunities in my life.

OUR SERVICES
Bridges at Worthmore is committed to setting the standard of professional excellence for how horses and other therapies enrich, empower, and improve the quality of life for individuals, families, and communities. Most people know the term “therapeutic riding” but there’s so much more! Equine assisted activities and adaptive riding encompass the physical, emotional, and mental well-being of a person.

Bridges staff are certified through the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International (Path Intl) and the internationally recognized Equine Assisted Growth and Learning Association (EAGALA). The Bridges team works with people in creative horse-centered activities designed to address specific goals. The team is equipped to treat most behavioral and health issues; with a particular focus on anxiety, depression, trauma-related disorders and addiction. We provide individuals, couples and families with opportunities to improve communication and relationship dynamics and we offer leadership development and team building programs for groups and corporations of all sizes. We are particularly proud to be a provider of treatment to military veterans and their families.
