Equine-Assisted Therapy is a type of therapy that involves interactions between patients and horses. This approach helps individuals improve their emotional, social, and physical well-being. By working with horses, patients can develop trust, build confidence, and learn important life skills in a supportive environment.
During sessions, a trained therapist guides participants in various activities with equines. These activities may include grooming, riding, or simply spending time with the horses. The unique bond formed between humans and horses can lead to significant therapeutic benefits, making this a valuable option for those facing challenges like anxiety, depression, or trauma.
