Local business teaches life skills through horses
A government funded program in Calgary has put the spotlight on horses helping veterans with PTSD.
Just outside of Prince Albert is the business that trained them, and they are working to help people of every background through the use of horses.
Gayle Cartier, owner and lead facilitator of Cartier farms, said their program of equine assisted learning teaches life skills through horses.
“It’s definitely the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done,” said Cartier, who was a riding instructor for about 30 years. “When we started developing this program 15 years ago, I felt like I found something that my life had prepared me to do.”
