It’s a pleasure to work with these young people

Our Youth Skills Program would like to give a huge thank you to Stable Pace Equine Assisted Therapy for their continued support of the program! Youth Skills participants are lucky enough to be given the opportunity to participate in Equine Assisted Therapy, which has so many incredible benefits. 🐴

Working with horses allows the participants to explore their emotions, behaviours and patterns in an interesting, hands on, and engaging way. They learn so much about themselves while working with the horses, and it’s heaps of fun as well! 🫶🏼

Equine Therapy is just one of many components of the Youth Skills Program. To find out what else is offered and how we may be able to support you or someone else you know aged 15-24, please get in touch! 🤩

This Skilling Queenslanders for Work project is proudly funded by the Queensland Government.

New Research Shows Horses Are Far More Intelligent Than We Thought:

Horses are far more intelligent than most people realize, with cognitive abilities that place them among the smartest animals.

They have demonstrated skills in problem-solving, emotional intelligence, memory, and learning that rival those of many other species. For example, horses are known for their cleverness in opening stable doors or untying knots, showcasing their capacity for strategic thinking.

Emotionally, they form deep, empathetic bonds with humans and can sense feelings like pride or shame, often mirroring their human companions' emotions.

Their impressive cognitive skills also allow them to recognize symbols, communicate preferences, and adapt to complex situations, such as responding to commands in therapeutic environments.

One study even revealed that horses can adjust their communication based on whether humans are aware of hidden food, increasing visual and tactile signals like looking or nudging when their caretakers were unaware.

This ability to understand and respond to the knowledge state of others—previously thought to be unique to primates—illustrates the sophistication of horse cognition. Horses actively attempt to communicate with humans in much the same way they would with their herd members, making horse-human communication a true two-way street.

While horses may not match the intellectual capabilities of elephants, they are often considered more intelligent than dogs or cats in some areas, excelling in equine-assisted therapies where their sensitivity to human emotions makes them invaluable in psychological treatments.
