Stable Moments is a mentorship program designed specifically for adopted and foster care children. Stable Moments matches

• one community mentor
• one foster or adopted child 
• one horse
• for one hour per week
• ​for 10 months

to develop life skills for healthy transitions into adulthood. 

The STABLE MOMENTS PROGRAM

Children who have experienced early developmental trauma, abuse or neglect have good reason to be untrusting of people, especially those in authority or care roles. For these children, the horse provides an alternative sentient being with whom they can achieve a partnership through trust. This type of relationship, which is often foreign to these children, can serve as a bridge to building more stable connections with other people.

While interaction with a horse is therapeutic in and of itself, it is the consistent, one-on-one time that makes Stable Moments successful. Teaching these children how to communicate with their horse through body language, energy and pressure lets them develop a greater capacity for empathy, social- and self-awareness. As these youth get comfortable in their routine with their mentors and horse, their willingness to apply themselves improves. This success eventually translates to home, school and community settings.
