Why equines?

Through a relationship with a horse you can…

  • Increase your ability to trust self and others
  • Reduce anxiety, feelings of depression and isolation
  • Increase self-esteem, self-acceptance, and social skills
  • Improve impulse control
  • Increase problem-solving skills
  • Improve communication skills, including non-verbal
  • Better understanding of healthy boundaries and the importance of assertiveness
  • Learn to get outside own negative, self-absorbed thoughts and nurture another creature
  • Enjoy being outside in nature
  • Equine Assisted Psychotherapy provides an opportunity for an individual to engage with a horse, building a relationship with self and the equine. Through unmounted activities such as observing, grooming, leading, or just being with a horse one can learn aspects of communication, trust, build self-confidence & self-esteem, increase self awareness, and learn emotional regulation skills.
