Coyote Hill is a professional home of love for abused and neglected children; and also for children whose families just need a chance to regroup and get a fresh start. We provide licensed counseling and professional social work services.
We provide the child with a safe and healthy place to grow, to learn, to laugh, to love; and to understand what it means to have a life that is full and complete. Come and see for yourself why Coyote Hill is called... "a place to be a child."  Springtime is a Great Time to come for a tour In the springtime, as the pastures turn green and the trees come back to life, and the kids are running all over the place, going fishing, riding bikes, playing games, etc. ... it is a great time to come out for a tour of Coyote Hill.

Posted by Larry | Permalink | Rss Feed Learning to ask for help.  A few days ago (when the weather was considerably warmer!) the kids were excited to take advantage of the warmer temperatures to be cowboys and cowgirls. Often the horses do silly things that serve as great teaching moments for our kids, in addition to just being amusing to watch. :-)For example, as it worked out, in one area there were two boys, with two horses, and neither one of them were having much success in getting their respective horses to cooperate or obey. A couple of us adults were there coaching from the sidelines, trying to help these young men learn a lesson ... a lesson not so much about horses, but mostly about themselves and learning to ask for help. One of the boys was having an interesting time trying to figure out how to get a halter on Stormy. He wanted one of us to do it for him, and then just hand the horse over to him. Stormy, the horse, was basically telling the boy, "I'm going to just stand here in this corner, and when you figure out how to put that halter on, I'll go with you."  The other boy and his horse, just a few feet away, had a different issue. The halter was on the horse, but ol' Roy was thinking he would just hang out with his friend Stormy. The boy was hoping that if he just pulled hard enough, maybe ol' Roy would follow. As you might imagine, it didn't work out quite that way.The solution to both "problems" was for the boys to work together. The first boy accepted some help from the second to get the halter put on right, and with a little more coaxing and learning how to say please in "horse-talk," the other boy eventually got ol' Roy to the hitching post too.
