Equine-Assisted Therapy
Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy is done at our center in a private covered arena, with the use of horse(s) an Equine Specialist and a Mental Health Professional. Sessions can be completed in groups or individually, based on the need and the issue that is being addressed. Those who are unresponsive to traditional therapy have found horses to be beneficial when dealing with a multitude of issues.
Why Horses for Therapy
Horses offer several advantages: they are clear on their boundaries, they have no hidden agendas and much like us, they are social creatures with distinct personalities, attitudes and moods. Plus, they experience a large variety of emotions. They are also intuitive and have a defined role within their herd. Because of these similarities horses can demonstrate and teach self-awareness, honest communication, trust, leadership, assertiveness and affection to name a few.
