A Unique Experiential Learning Center
Teaching children to focus on their possibilities.
Begin the Journey
Experience connection in an open-minded environment.
Horses have the innate ability to communicate non-verbally by mirroring our feelings and behaviors in other multi-sensory ways. With the help of our horses, your child will experience how the use of metaphor, a thing or situation that is symbolic of something else going on in their life, can give them a voice and a chance to and reflect on their current emotional and behavioral patterns.
While visiting our farm, your child will experience the wonders of nature, while gaining a feeling of curiosity, and instilling a sense of confidence and hope. We aim to encourage an atmosphere of intergenerational and interspecies connection, while allowing individuals to safely explore personal challenges, make connections, and strengthen internal resources - ultimately carrying those skills into daily life.
A little bit about me…
Cathy Cowger
I am Cathy Cowger, owner of Cedar Lane Farm, LLC. Eagala Equine Specialist, Certified Horse Powered Reading®, 8 to Great Life Coach, Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) provider, horseback riding instructor for 30+ years
Through my life’s twists and turns I have come to realize that my main purpose and passion has consistently been investing in the lives of children. I love to see kids of all ages develop self-confidence that leads to growth in well-rounded, healthy ways. It is my firm belief that there is no greater gift we can give to future generations than a clear roadmap and proper traveling supplies to help them reach their desired destination in life. My goal is to provide creative opportunities for children and families as they learn and grow. May we all find the joy in our journey.
Why I use horses as my teammates…
My lifelong love for horses has developed into a deep respect and admiration for these wonderful creatures. Through years of teaching horseback riding lessons, I have become profoundly aware that by simply spending time with them, horses have the ability to help us understand ourselves in new ways.
Horses are non-verbal and have the ability to mirror our feelings and actions in the moment, allowing an instant glimpse into our own patterns and behaviors. They give a new perspective for personal reflection. My respected team members are a group of five horses that come in a variety of shapes, sizes and personalities.
