Horses are highly attuned and responsive animals, they live in the now.
This makes them wonderful partners in the therapeutic process.
Horses invite us to slow down, breathe, and connect authentically, helping to restore a sense of calm and balance to both the mind and body.
Equine-assisted therapy is a trauma-informed, experiential approach that involves engaging in activities with horses and processing your experiences with a qualified therapist.
Each session is uniquely tailored in collaboration with you to support your personal goals, or to meet you where you're at on the day. If you’re not sure what you’d like to work on, that’s completely okay. We are flexible and trust that things will unfold naturally.
All horse activities are ground based, meaning there is no riding involved. Instead, you might find yourself meeting the horses, building a connection through observation and relationship, grooming or leading.
Worried about being around horses? We understand that they can feel big and unfamiliar. Sessions are always guided in a way that helps you feel safe, proceeds at your pace, and respects your boundaries.
Equine assisted therapy can be especially helpful for individuals who have experienced , anxiety, emotional dysregulation, trauma or grief and loss.
Equine Assisted Therapy is also a wonderful option for those seeking personal growth and wellbeing, including developing emotional regulation and relational skills, boundary-setting, exploring personal patterns, and enhancing social-emotional awareness.
