Why research matters

Great practice needs strong research. 📚🐴

The HETI Journal: International Research and Practice shares studies, experiences, and knowledge about horses in EAS.

By connecting science and real-world practice, we strengthen the future of equine-assisted services.

Because understanding why horses help is just as important as seeing that they help.
