Mental Health Therapy
Equine Therapy
A unique therapeutic experience that uses interactions with horses to build trust, emotional awareness, and personal growth.
01
What is this service?

Equine Therapy is an experiential form of therapy where individuals engage in guided activities with horses—such as grooming, feeding, or walking alongside them—under the supervision of a licensed mental health professional and an equine specialist. No riding is required. The horse’s responses provide real-time feedback that helps uncover emotional patterns and deepen self-awareness.

02
Why do we use it?

Horses are highly sensitive animals that reflect our emotional states without judgment. This makes them powerful partners in therapy. Equine Therapy helps individuals learn to manage emotions, set healthy boundaries, and build confidence through calm, intentional interaction. It’s especially effective for those dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, or trust issues.

03
How does it help with mental healthcare?

By creating a safe, nonverbal space for healing, Equine Therapy helps reduce anxiety, regulate emotions, and foster connection. The experience of being present with a horse can calm the nervous system, increase self-trust, and promote emotional breakthroughs that support deeper therapeutic work and long-term mental wellness.
