Do Equine Assisted therapy sessions go ahead in the rain?
Yes, unless it’s torrential and stormy, nature therapy embraces all weather and in the rain we can see the fish jumping in the pond, hear the excitement of the birds around us, smell the damp earth and taste the rain on our tongue. What better way to ground and orient ourselves with our surroundings.
We have rain ponchos and umbrellas, and even a couple of spare pairs of gumboots for puddle splashing ☔️ 🌧️🌿

Remembering all who served today

On ANZAC Day, we pause to remember the courage, sacrifice, and enduring spirit of all who have served.

We honour not only the men and women of our defence forces, but also the animals who stood beside them—horses, dogs, pigeons and others—who played vital roles in service and sacrifice.

“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.”

Their loyalty, bravery, and service will never be forgotten.

Lest we forget.

New Research: Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy and Addiction Recovery

A recent 2025 scoping review published in a neuroscience and behavioral science journal explored the cognitive and physiological impacts of psychotherapy that incorporates interaction with horses.
In
The review examined 556 research papers focused on equine-assisted psychotherapy and its role in addiction recovery and withdrawal support.

📊 Key findings across the research showed that equine-based psychotherapy can:
• Improve engagement in therapy
• Increase confidence and emotional stability
• Enhance communication and interpersonal skills
• Reduce stress responses associated with withdrawal

These findings suggest that equine-assisted psychotherapy may be a valuable complementary approach for people recovering from addiction, particularly by helping individuals engage more deeply in therapy and develop stronger emotional regulation skills.
