At Brave Horse, nature is the classroom and every experience is designed to inspire growth, confidence, and connection. While our horses are still an important part of our work, we now integrate a variety of nature-based experiences - from quiet forest walks to sensory-friendly outdoor activities.

We specialize in creating a safe, welcoming space where participants can explore, learn, and grow at their own pace. Our programs are especially supportive for neurodivergent children and youth.

Hands-on learning at Brave Horse means participants actively engage in real-life, outdoor activities rather than sitting in a classroom. Whether it’s caring for an animal, working through a nature challenge, or building trust with a horse, you learn by doing.

This approach helps participants practice communication, problem-solving, emotional regulation, and teamwork in a way that feels natural, fun, and memorable.

Yes - while many of our programs take place on our quiet farm near Armstrong, B.C., we understand travel isn’t always possible. Depending on your needs, we can offer:

• Remote coaching/mentorship sessions via phone or video call

• Customized nature-based activities you can do at home or in your local area

• Off-site workshops for schools, organizations, and community groups (within travel range)

Contact us to discuss the best option for your situation.

No - our programs are all ground-based. We focus on building relationships, trust, and communication with the horses, not riding them. This keeps the experience safe, inclusive, and accessible to everyone.

Not at all. We work with participants at every comfort level - from those who have never touched a horse to those who spend every weekend outdoors. Safety and comfort are our top priorities, and we give clear instructions every step of the way.

That’s okay - we meet you where you are. Many participants come to Brave Horse with hesitations or fears, and we gently guide them through experiences at a pace that feels safe. You’ll always have the choice of how close you’d like to get to the horses or animals.

Yes. We create custom programs for schools, youth groups, businesses, and community organizations looking for unique team-building and personal development experiences. Please email us for more details.

EAL is a guided, experiential learning process where horses respond to human body language, energy, and actions. This creates natural opportunities for self-discovery, problem-solving, and building life skills. It is not therapy, but it can be deeply therapeutic.

Most programs are held at our peaceful farm just outside Armstrong, B.C., surrounded by nature. The property features a barn, outdoor arena, wooded areas, Brave Horse Club House, and a clean portable washroom for convenience.

All programs are planned by Miranda Griffin, a certified EAL Facilitator through the Academy of Equine Assisted Learning, with years of experience working with youth, families, and neurodivergent individuals. And based on fit, herself or a member of their team will facilitate the sessions.

Yes. Brave Horse carries full insurance coverage for all programs.

Social Emotional Learning, or SEL, is the process of helping individuals understand and manage their emotions, build healthy relationships, and make responsible decisions. At Brave Horse, we use SEL to support personal growth, self-awareness, and confidence - helping clients thrive both with the horses and in everyday life.

Our session fees vary based on the individual needs of each child or youth. We also accept autism funding to help make our programs more accessible.
