​

What happens in an Equine Therapy session?
The use of horses within the therapeutic process provides a unique approach to treatment. Each and every session can look very different. The basis for the sessions is the interaction between the participant and the horse.  As a prey species, horses are aware and sensitive to their environment. As experts in non-verbal communication the horses provide feedback that is safe, non-judgemental and free of agendas. This feedback often leads to increased awareness, creating the opportunity for the participant to practice and learn new thoughts and behaviors.  During the process of playing with new strategies and approaches, the participant learns to trust their abilities and strengths to create change and success not only within the barn setting but throughout life.
