What is Equine Assisted Therapy?
Equine therapy, also known as equine-assisted therapy, is a therapeutic approach that involves interactions between individuals and horses to promote emotional, mental, and physical healing. This form of therapy is utilised to address a wide range of factors, including mental health challenges, psychosocial disabilities, developmental disorders, and physical disabilities. Equine therapy is suitable for individuals of all ages, from children to adults. Horses are non-judgmental, patient, and intuitive animals, making them excellent partners in the therapeutic process. The unique bond formed between humans and horses fosters a supportive environment where individuals can grow, heal, and thrive.
