Our equine-assisted activities and therapy (EAAT) programs are an innovative and experiential treatment approach to personal growth. The involvement of animals in therapy programs has become well received and increasingly popular in the treatment of addiction, individuals with special needs, individuals who have experienced trauma, as well as individuals and family who face various emotional struggles and stress issues. Our curriculum helps participants to identify problematic thoughts and behavior patterns and to modify self-concepts in order to develop better cognitive skills, increase self-esteem and improve personal relationships. Equine assisted activities and therapy sessions are facilitated by a treatment team consisting of a mental health professional and an animal specialist. Our horses are friendly and responsive and have an acute awareness and sensitivity to their surroundings and to people. They each have different personalities and are as important to the treatment delivery as are their human counterparts. Our sessions involved interacting with horses on the group and do not include a mounted component. Our equine facility is conveniently located at Sunshine Meadows Equestrian Village on the Boca Raton/Delray Beach border on the west side of SR7/US 441. We have covered areas that allow us to offer sessions regardless of weather. Participation in our program is available to individuals, family, groups, and addiction treatment centers. Our services are available to people of all ages. Please contact us to learn more about how our program can benefit you! We welcome the opportunity to speak with you!
