Horses are probably one of the most intuitive animals we have the privilege to connect with
Equine therapy is about the embodied, somatic experience of how to regulate oneself and the animal you are working with. It gets you to set boundaries and to be respectful of the boundaries and wishes of the animal. It gets you to form an emotional relationship that is unconditional and deep
It is effective with depression, anxiety and other trauma-related symptoms, as well as ADHD, autism, cerebral palsy, behavioural ticks, substance abuse, eating disorders, dissociative disorders, and other mental health conditions
The focus is on interaction and co-regulation, and on building a respectful relationship with an animal
Facilitators are trauma-informed and are trained in working with children and mentally & physically handicapped persons
