Recommended Equine Training Program Link - Foundation Friendship Training (FT)

The Foundation Training Exercises, (FTXs) were developed by Chuck Mintzlaff of Hutchins, Texas. He operates an Early Intervention (immediate response) Equine Psychotherapy program designed specifically to help severely abused children reorient and regain their lives. The horses used in the program are the only five in Texas certified by Delta Society for Animal Assisted Therapy and they are naturally, Foundation Trained. The program has served several thousand children and maintains an injury free ten-year safety record. The clients learn not only in depth history of equine/human relationships and care of the horse, but complete "hands on" groundwork as well as independent mounted interaction riding the horses.
