Focused Lesson Program
At Sarajevo Stables, we believe everyone deserves the chance to connect, grow, and thrive. Our Focused Lesson Program is designed to meet the unique needs of students with a variety of learning styles and abilities. In a calm, supportive environment, students build confidence and connection through gentle horses, patient instructors, and hands-on experiences that go far beyond the typical riding lesson. We welcome individuals with cognitive, emotional, physical, or developmental differences. Through our focused lesson program, students will gain confidence, build physical and emotional strength, foster deep connections, and develop essential life and social skills, experiencing a wide range of therapeutic benefits.
Hannah Reese
As a Licensed Social Worker, Hannah brings a unique blend of expertise and passion to her work, connecting the power of human connection with the therapeutic benefits of horses. She has worked with diverse populations, including foster youth and individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Hannah's journey at Sarajevo began in 2020, when her daughter, Paisley, began taking lessons here. She quickly recognized the profound healing power of our horses and felt a strong call to create a program that connects this therapeutic potential with her lifelong passion for helping people.
If you or your child experience challenges with focus, sensory processing, managing emotional outbursts, or navigating social situations, please know you are not alone. This specialized program was thoughtfully designed with their unique needs and well-being in mind.
At Sarajevo, we believe in creating an environment where every individual can thrive. Our carefully selected, calm horses, coupled with a gentle, patient approach and a consistent, structured routine, work together to help each person feel genuinely safe, deeply understood, and incredibly proud of every step of their progress. We achieve this through:
-
Dedicated One-on-One Support: Ensuring personalized attention tailored to individual pace and learning styles.
-
A Sensory-Friendly Environment: Creating a calm and quiet space that minimizes over-stimulation and maximizes comfort, and confidence.
-
Experiential Learning: Fostering genuine connection and building trust, which naturally cultivates confidence and independence
-
A Focus on Integrating Life and Social Skills: Built into our daily activities and routine to build practical abilities for everyday interactions and personal growth.
This lesson program is built specifically for those who need a slower pace, a predictable and consistent routine, and a deeper level of patience and guidance. An initial assessment will be completed to ensure your instructor has a full understanding of your needs/goals. Ongoing evaluations will also be completed to ensure your goals are being met, and modify things as needed.
