Equine Assisted Rehabilitation

for patients with or after cancer
Horses are found to be great additions to cancer patient therapy. From walking alongside a horse to riding atop one, equine therapy can have amazing impacts on both cancer patients and their loved ones.

Horses are one of the few animals that work hard to form a connection with a human. Horses respond to patients in unique ways, such as mirroring their emotions. Horses are even known to sync their heartbeat with their rider (or walker), fostering a deep connection.

Equine assisted rehabilitation is a form of physical rehabilitation. It provides a space for personal empowerment, reduced anxiety and a much-needed change of scenery.
