Equestrian Therapy
Copper Canyon Academy offers a full program of Equestrian Therapy, also known as Equine Assisted or Animal Assisted Therapy. This program is especially valuable to younger students, students who have a history of not responding well to traditional therapy, and to students with attachment/bonding issues. The Equine Therapy program is included in your daughter's tuition and is offered in addition to the existing individual and group therapy.

Stage One: Precontemplation
In the precontemplation stage, your daughter is not thinking about changing, nor is she interested in any kind of help. Students in this stage tend to defend their problem behavior and do not see it as a problem. When pressured to change they are often defensive; this is also called denial.
Attention is not focused on changing and the student will often “war story’’ and glorify their problem behavior. You can probably see your daughter in the precontemplation stage when she first comes to Copper Canyon Academy.
