Equine Assisted Therapy

Equine-assisted therapy is a form of therapeutic intervention that involves guided, non-riding interactions between a person and a horse to support emotional, cognitive, and physical well-being. Clients may spend time with the horse in a safe, structured space—often called the arena—engaging in activities such as observing, grooming, or leading. The horse’s natural sensitivity and responsiveness help clients build skills like trust, communication, self-awareness, and emotional regulation. It is often used to support individuals coping with anxiety, trauma, developmental challenges, or behavioral issues.
