What Is Equine Assisted Healing?
Equine-assisted healing incorporates horses into the therapeutic process. Also known as equine therapy, horses are able to promote spiritual, physical, psychological and occupational healing. Non-threatening, trusting and open relationships can be built with these connections breeding further positive feelings of patience, love, respect, safety and empathy. Equine therapy is found to reduce levels of anxiety and stress, improve moods, create a sense of peace and contentment, among other benefits.

Unlike smaller therapy animals like dogs and cats, these gentle giants have a calming effect that’s magnified by their size and empathy. Horses are herd animals known for attuning themselves to human emotion, often reflecting the behaviors of those around them.
