THERAPY PROGRAMS (Coverage available)
What is “Equine assisted learning and Therapy”?
The primary focus of equine-assisted Learning & Equine therapy (EAT and EAL)
EAT- addressing mental health challenges and emotional well-being, while equine-assisted learning (EAL) primarily focuses on educational and personal development goals
What happens in an equine assisted therapy session?
The client works with a horse and therapist throughout the therapy to improve interactions with those around them, allowing them to make real change. Every session is a little different, but one of the priorities is to help take care of the horse. Animal caretaking teaches fundamental, applicable skills.
What is an example of equine assisted learning?
Some examples of the skills that are taught are grooming a horse in the correct order, memorizing 5 parts of the horse, how to use body language to lead a horse and/or how his or her behavior affects the horse. Sessions can be individual or group and last for 45 minutes.
Equine therapy help with anxiety?
Integrative Equine Therapy has helped many, who are suffering from anxiety. Working with our horses helps clients find and change inside themselves. Getting better shows up in a really gentle, wonderful way. A horse creates the most judgment-free space in the world. horses are among the most beneficial in trauma-informed mental health treatments, their popularity is due to the immediate feedback they provide and the individual connections they build.
Now more than ever our social connections are being challenged and are decreasing dramatically and animals “especially Horses”, have the ability to reflect back to us some of our most desired states like love, compassion, joy and kindness. It also takes courage to turn towards animals to find these things you may have felt that you have lost or have not experienced in a while. Animals have an amazing ability to ground us in the present moment, allowing us a reprieve from our ruminations of the past or worries of the future.
