Saddle of Love Inc

Saddle of Love is a 501(c)(3), non-profit Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) program. Our mission is to instill trust, self- love, and life coping skills to youth/young adults. Our long-term vision is to create a world where youth experience self-love and free of suicide by teaching them to be mentally healthy. Our world is currently experiencing extreme turmoil further necessitating the need for young adults to learn positive coping skills. Statistics show since our present circumstances that suicide rates have increased such that this program becomes even more necessary. According to the CDC, suicide is the second leading cause of death for ages 10-24.  Our program focuses on ages 5 to 24 for early intervention to youth and young adults who struggle with mental illness, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, anger management, trauma, autism, substance abuse and suicidal ideation. We assist participants in developing positive mental health, pulling from various proven Evidenced-Based Therapies, woven together. 

Saddle of Love provides a safe, therapeutic setting in Park City, Utah, to ride and bond with horses and farm animals to implement the EAP program as above. We also provide group therapy via camps, culinary and horticulture therapy  to build on social connectedness. We have a waitlist of low income at-risk youth who are in need scholarship money to receive needed mental health services
