Equine Therapy


EQUINE FACILITATED THERAPY

Horses are amazing tools that mirror our behavior and emotions. They help individuals learn more about themselves and about relationship dynamics in people's lives.

The Equine-Facilitated Activities Program is an innovative, activity-based group or individual adventure that uses horses to work on peer relationships, self-esteem, attachment issues, trust building, fear and conflict resolution, anxiety, depression, as well as many other difficulties. Target participants are middle to high school-aged at-risk youths of all-levels of physical, psychological, and social functioning as well as for those for whom horseback riding is contraindicated, but would still benefit from equine related activities.
