Fr iendly Trails is Marin County's leading holistic riding, training and "horsekeeping"
program, also offering
equine-assisted
learning (EAL)
programs that include individual and family psychotherapy and group EAL activities
for all ages. Located at beautiful Dougherty Ranch in Nicasio, Friendly Trails
provides a comprehensive range of lesson programs. Students are exposed to a
highly effective, holistic approach to training for horses and humans alike.
This natural, well-balanced approach to riding and training honors the
individual — for both equine and human students. Educational programs offer
established levels to help riders progress effectively and comfortably. The
levels are based upon the student’s experience along with the individual's
own commitment to working with horses. All riders progress at their own pace, learning the important skills they need to master their
relationships with horses, and to manage the care and riding of a horse in the
most responsible manner.
Friendly Trails
is a key provider of Equine Assisted Growth & Learning.
