✨ Welcome, Baxter! ✨

Life doesn’t always go to plan. Baxter, a 6-year-old Morgan gelding, was originally meant to be Dr Koren’s riding partner, but his journey has taken a different turn. Instead, he’s found his calling as part of our therapy herd here at Ganas Clinical Psychology.

Although another equine facilitator wasn’t in the original plan, our practice is growing busier and equine-facilitated sessions continue to expand. Baxter has already shown he has so much to offer, jumping into sessions last week with his eager energy and big heart.

We’re excited to watch him grow into this role alongside Dusty & Bubba. The last months of 2025 are flying by, and our books are filling fast—so we’re grateful to have Baxter on the team. 💛🐴

Almost exactly a year ago, the initial build-out of the Equine Clinical Psychology Centre began.

This past couple of weeks, the incredible crew from Rural Fencing S.A. returned to help us expand again, building new yards, a fresh paddock, and even a custom “pony-only” zone just for Bubba 🐴✨.

But in true “life with horses” fashion, no sooner had Josh and his team finished the beautiful new paddock than Monday’s wild storms brought a tree down and wiped out part of it 🤦🏻‍♀️😭.

I can’t thank the crew enough for their responsiveness and quick work to my "SOS" text message. They were here and got everything safe and back in order so quickly. Grateful doesn’t even begin to cover it. 🙏

Stay tuned for a few more upgrades to the centre in coming weeks!

At Ganas Clinical Psychology, everything we do is grounded in evidence. This commitment applies across our services, whether in-room or via telehealth clinical psychology, psychotherapy, psychological assessment, or our equine-facilitated clinical psychology program.

Dr. Koren Ganas’s background as an academic in psychology and medical education means she values staying current with the peer-reviewed literature. This dedication ensures clients benefit from approaches that are compassionate AND scientifically supported.

Our evidence-informed approach extends to the wellbeing of our equine partners, too. Their care, training, and management follow equine welfare best practice, providing them with a high standard of living and ensuring they can thrive in their important therapeutic roles.

We are grateful to researchers and organisations such as the Horses and Humans Research Foundation for continuing to expand the knowledge base that guides our work. Their contributions support us in delivering services that honour both our clients and our equine facilitators.

⚠️ Early Notice: Weather Impacts ☔️☔️☔️

With the much needed rain heading in, it looks likely Equine Facilitated sessions will be postponed after Monday the coming week. While we understand this is disappointing, keeping our clients and our equines safe is our top priority.

We'll keep a watchful eye on the forecast and be in touch Monday for rebooking, or changing to room-based or telehealth sessions if preferred.

Rest assured our equine employees will be kitted up in their raincoats and in their warm and dry yards.

We appreciate everyone's understanding of our inclimate weather policy.
