What is Equine Therapy?

WHAT HAPPENS IN AN EQUINE THERAPY SESSION?

During each Equine Therapy session clients are offered ‘safe’ (physically and emotionally) experiences with horses.

In these experiences clients explore relationships, building self-awareness, building awareness of patterns or habits that are no longer serving clients well, developing social and emotional skills, and addressing learning goals clients have identified.

Horses are beautiful, intelligent, sensitive beings who are naturally grounded, present and aware. Horses can evoke strong feelings and respond to you in a unique and authentic way to help you gain insight into your relationship with yourself and others.

Re-connect and tune into your innate connection with nature. Spending time outside in nature and with animals improves physical and mental health, increase productivity, and enhances overall well-being.
