Equine Therapists, using horses and shared activities such as grooming, provide a safe space where people can explore their mental, emotional, or physical health at their own pace, under the guidance of a professional. The goal is to keep it from feeling like a typical in-office therapy session.

 

Horses are amazing animals when it comes to therapy. Horses are prey animals by nature so they are continually aware of their surroundings and the emotions of other animals and people around them. A horse will read how a person is feeling and mirror that back to the person. One session with a horse can equal up to four sessions in an therapist's office.
