(MENAFN- Market Press Release) November 3, 2025 2:57 pm - Fridays at Learn to Live Recovery mean connection, calm, and a little horseplay - literally.

At Learn to Live Recovery in Hermann, Missouri, Fridays aren't just another day in the routine - they're for connection, reflection, and a little time in the fresh air. Residents look forward to Equine-Assisted Learning sessions, where spending time with horses becomes more than an activity - it's part of the healing process.

Through the EGALA model (Equine-Assisted Growth and Learning Association), residents interact with horses in ways that promote trust, communication, and self-awareness. These sessions aren't about horseback riding - they're about connection. Horses are highly intuitive animals that respond to human emotions and energy, offering honest feedback without judgment.

For individuals in recovery, this experience can be incredibly powerful. Many of the men at Learn to Live Recovery are learning to rebuild trust, set boundaries, and manage emotions in healthy ways - all skills that naturally surface while working with horses.

The team at Learn to Live Recovery believes that true recovery involves more than just staying sober; it's about learning to live again - confidently, compassionately, and with purpose. That's why their long-term, extended-care model includes opportunities like equine therapy, community involvement, life skills development, and personal growth activities.

Residents often describe these Friday sessions as peaceful and grounding. Working with the horses encourages mindfulness, patience, and self-reflection - qualities that strengthen both emotional health and recovery resilience.

As one staff member put it,“It's amazing to watch how the horses mirror what our guys are feeling. They teach lessons no classroom ever could.”

At Learn to Live Recovery, healing isn't confined to four walls. It happens in conversations, community, and - yes - sometimes in a corral.

We are located in beautiful Hermann, MO but take residents from all over the country.
