Equine-assisted activities involve interactions between humans and horses to promote physical, emotional, and social well-being. These activities can include riding, grooming, and caring for horses, and are often used in therapeutic settings to support individuals with various needs, such as those with autism, PTSD, or physical disabilities. These programs are designed to enhance personal development and improve life skills. Participants may experience increased confidence, improved communication, and better emotional regulation through their engagement with horses. The bond formed during these activities can foster a sense of responsibility and empathy, benefiting both the individual and the horse.
