Horses | Elevate: Equine Assisted Therapy

About

Welcome to Elevate: Equine Assisted Therapy! Elevate was born out of a simple idea: providing Equine Assisted Services to the Greater Lansing community. We work with a wide array of disabilities such as Autism, ADHD, Anxiety, and more! Our unique approach to providing Equine Assisted services is founded upon the use of games and activities to build social skills, increase self-esteem, teach positive coping skills, increase emotional intelligence, and promote a healthy physical exercise alternative.
