🐴 Meet Our Equine Team Members 🐴
At Valor Horses for Heroes, our horses are not just part of the program—they are valued members of our treatment team. Below are some of the incredible horses you may have the opportunity to work with during Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) sessions. Each horse brings their own personality, presence, and wisdom into the healing space.
Horses are uniquely suited for therapeutic work because of their sensitivity, intuition, and ability to mirror human emotions. As prey animals, they are highly attuned to nonverbal communication, energy, and emotional shifts. This allows them to offer honest, real-time feedback that helps clients become more aware of their internal experiences in a safe and nonjudgmental environment.
Working alongside horses can help clients build trust, increase self-awareness, strengthen emotional regulation, and explore relationship patterns. Because the work is experiential and often nonverbal, equine-assisted therapy can be especially powerful for individuals who find it difficult to put feelings into words or who feel stuck in traditional talk therapy.
Through guided interactions with our equine team—supported by a licensed mental health professional and a certified equine specialist—participants often discover new insights, develop valuable life skills, and reconnect with their own strengths and resilience.
We are deeply grateful for our horses and the role they play in supporting healing, growth, and transformation. 💙🐎
