W h y  h o r s e s ?

Horses provide a unique experience unlike traditional talk therapy. Horses have a profound way

of holding a mirror up to the client as they reflect their emotions and react to them. In this wa

horses help teach empathy, self-confidence, and communication, all while taking the focus of

the client and empowering the client to be fully present in the therapy session. Horses offer

unique sensory experience that can provide comfort and an opportunity to those who struggle

with sensory input or hypervigilant responses from PTSD and anxiety. Unlike traditional therapy,

the horses and other farm animals are constantly responding to their environment, providing a

safe place to practice interacting with the unpredictable nature of life.
