Services & Process

Solia Farm offers horseback riding alongside mental health counseling, likely using an equine-assisted psychotherapy model where a licensed therapist and equine professional work as a team. Sessions may address anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and relationship challenges using horse-human interaction as the therapeutic tool. Riding activities may also be available for individuals not seeking formal therapy but looking for a mindful, restorative outdoor experience. Program structure tends to be personalized, reflecting the smaller, farm-based environment.

Service Area

Solia Farm serves Apison and surrounding Hamilton County communities including Ooltewah, East Brainerd, and Collegedale. The farm is also accessible for residents of Cleveland and Bradley County who are looking for equine therapy options closer to the Chattanooga area.

Frequently Asked Questions

What mental health conditions can equine-assisted therapy help with?
Equine-assisted therapy has been used to support people dealing with anxiety, PTSD, depression, ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, and trauma. It's not a replacement for all forms of treatment, but many clients find it a powerful complement to traditional talk therapy.
Do I need to own or have experience with horses to participate?
No horse ownership or prior experience is needed. Most therapeutic programs are designed to be accessible to complete beginners, and the horses used are specifically selected and trained for this kind of work.
How long do sessions typically last?
Sessions at equine therapy farms generally run between 50 and 90 minutes, similar to a standard therapy appointment. The extra time accounts for working with the horses before and after any structured activity.
Is Solia Farm open year-round?
Many small farm-based equine programs operate year-round, adjusting outdoor activities during severe weather. It's best to call Solia Farm directly at (423) 207-2409 to confirm their seasonal schedule.
Can children participate in the programs at Solia Farm?
Equine-assisted therapy programs frequently serve children and adolescents, often as a more engaging alternative to traditional office-based therapy. Contact the farm to ask about age-specific programs and any eligibility requirements.
How is Solia Farm different from a typical riding school?
Unlike a riding school focused on equestrian skills, Solia Farm integrates licensed mental health professionals into the experience. The horses serve as partners in the therapeutic process, not just animals to ride.
