NCEFT’s Services

NCEFT’s Services

Current Programming

At NCEFT, we believe in the transformative potential of every individual, and our mission is to empower clients to thrive through equine-assisted interventions. Our programs provide a holistic approach to healing for children and adults facing disabilities and mental health challenges. We combine evidence-based practices with the profound rehabilitative power of the human-horse connection to deliver a range of programs that enhance physical abilities, improve independence, build confidence, and cultivate emotional well-being in a safe and nurturing environment.

Physical and Occupational Therapy
NCEFT offers Physical and Occupational Therapy in a variety of settings/environments, including our indoor clinic space, in order to tailor treatment to a client’s individual needs and achieve functional outcomes and family/client goals. Sessions can also incorporate medical-quality equine movement which has been proven to produce measurable and functional therapeutic results. Learn More >>

Mental Health and Resilience
NCEFT offers a variety of Mental Health and Resilience programs for youth and adults. We utilize the beauty of our expansive 12-acre property, our special herd of horses, and dedicated, professional staff to deliver transformative services. Research shows that being connected to the natural environment and with animals in conscious, intentional ways has significant emotional and physical benefits. Horses in particular are communicative animals who provide an honest reflection of human behavior, giving our clients a deeper understanding of themselves. Learn More >>

Adaptive Riding and Horsemanship
Adaptive Riding is recreational horseback riding and horsemanship lessons adapted for each client’s ability and goals. Adaptive riding utilizes mounted and unmounted activities to provide a combination of physical and emotional benefits. These programs provides a unique combination of physical and emotional benefits.

Reducing stress, breaking down barriers, and learning to work together are critical to high team functioning.
