Experience Learning Support with Animals
Your donation to ELSA supports hands-on, ranch-based horse programs that empower youth and young adults challenged everyday with special needs. Making powerful human-animal connections in a full sensory setting resonates deeply with participants. Horses provide immediate feedback as well as a mirror to our own energy. Located in Old Agoura, we offer a safe, private ranch setting as a learning landscape for individuals and groups. A 501(c)3 nonprofit since 2009.
HUMAN-ANIMAL INTERACTIONS
The horse is a hub of interactions during ELSA's ranch programs. Using a hands-on, horse-based approach to learning, participants expand their personal boundaries and experience exhilaration and joy.
