Equine Therapy

Please note that we are not currently offering Equine Therapy Services, but hope to do so again in the future.

Equine Therapy offers a unique opportunity for people to experience change in their lives through contact with horses. Clients bring their therapeutic goals and relationship issues to the barn to explore experientially with the horses. Sessions begin with a check in that incorporates an intention followed by a hands on experience with one or more horses. The experience will allow for deeper exploration of what a client is working on that day. After the experience, there is time to debrief and integrate what has been discovered and learned.

Why Contact with Horses?

  • Horses are intuitive and sensitive.

  • They respond to the energy of human emotion, which allows us to take a closer look at what is going on beneath the surface.

  • Horses deepen the therapeutic process because of their ability to live in the here and now.

  • Horses live in herds, which mimic human social systems. There is a hierarchy and there are roles within each herd.

  • Horses are relational. They have boundaries, build trust, express themselves and make connections with others.

  • We can learn about our own patterns in relationships through contact with horses.

Benefits of Working with Horses:

  • Resolve issues by becoming aware

  • Deepen or give new perspective to therapeutic work being done in the office

  • Gain clarity

  • Form connection and make contact

  • Increase confidence and self- esteem

  • Gain physical strength and coordination

  • Increase body awareness, and balance through movement

  • Improve communication skills

“There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man.”

—Winston Churchill
