Supportive Friends incorporates nature and animals as beneficiaries for an individual’s mental well-being. We specialize in equine therapy and strive to help others overcome their personal issues. Supportive friend’s Inc. knowledgeable staff offers a safe and friendly environment. Our horses are used in mental health therapy programs for those who struggle in understanding themselves or suffer from minor mental illnesses such as:
 * ADHD
 * Anxiety
 * Depression
 * Substance abuse
 * Eating disorders
 * Mood disorders

Our Therapeutic horseback riding program is a positive affect to one’s sense of identity as well as a distraction from personal issues. We understand that each individual is unique with different life experiences. That individual will be provided with a horse that we believe will offer the most therapeutic value to him or her. Our well-cared for horses provide riders emotional support that allows them to feel confident, happy, and at peace. Riders are able to express themselves at ease to their new friends without being judged or disrespected. We believe that a big animal that may be perceived as intimidating and chooses to be a loyal friend, can provide an individual with a great sense of power.

The program is focused on a one-on-one therapy or group lessons. Our Instructors are professionally trained and fully insured. A one hour group lesson coast $45 whereas an individual lesson is $60. All riders are educated on the nature of our equine therapy program and interested parties are fully informed as well. They must be 18 years or older to participate and sign consent forms along with demographic forms. Potential riders are not required to have any past riding experience. Our equine therapy program offers riding levels that range from beginner to expert. This enable us to correlate riders with horses based on their riding experience as well as their personality. We want to ensure our riders to have positive and safe relationships and interactions with the horses.
