Prairie Sky Equine Assisted Therapy

Prairie Sky is a Calgary-based registered charity that provides customized,

transformational, and life-changing Equine Therapy programs to individuals facing

a range of physical, emotional, and social challenges.

PSEAT is committed to creating a safe and accepting community where participants

can be themselves while benefitting from direct equine interactions.

PSEAT will always ensure that each participant finds a place in our herd.

PSEAT provides on-site learning, riding, and therapy for neurodiverse individuals,

and adults and children with disabilities of all kinds. Our program is led by Vernon

Lundy (CHA-IRD; Level 3 Cognitive Disabilities; Level 2 Physical Disabilities; PATH

Intl. Certified Therapeutic Riding Instructor (CTRI)), and supported by volunteers,

parents, and generous donors.

Why Horses?

Cognitive
Equine therapy can help build social skills, communication and language skills,

improve cognition, and help remodel neural pathways in the brain.

Emotional
Riders quickly bond with the horses, which allows them to feel safe, heard, wanted,

and creates a positive environment that fosters emotional growth. Interacting with

horses helps build confidence, self-regulation skills, trust, and creates a sense of

accomplishment.

Physical
For riders that are physically challenged, equine therapy can provide highly effective

therapy.

Studies have shown that equine-assisted activities and therapies can improve gross

motor function, spasticity, muscle symmetry, core strength, posture, and balance and

gait in individuals with varying disabilities.
