Equine Therapy

In partnership with EQUI-KIDS, Equine Therapy is an interactive process combining the use of a Equine - Assisted Psychotherapy trained horse, helping patients rebuild a sense of confidence and perspective, while providing a sense of comfort.

WHY HORSES?

• Horses are keen observers and sensitive to movement and emotion.
• Horses often mirror a client’s behavior or emotions, allows patients to feel safe.

Patients will groom, lead, and observe horses in the pasture to explore communication and behavior.

(Patients will not be riding horses)
