Why Equine therapy
Equine-Assisted psychotherapy provides an experiential means in which the client can identify and address a range of emotional and behavioral challenges and learn healthy and appropriate skills to address these challenges. Horses provide vast opportunities for metaphorical learning, an effective technique when working with even the most challenging individuals or groups.
