WHY HORSES
Horses are naturally prey animals. This means they are always on the lookout for danger. Many of our clients can relate to this behavior and can learn coping skills for trauma, stress, and fear.
Horses have shown to benefit people with mental health concerns, developmental disabilities, physical challenges, and life stressors.
Horses are herd animals and interact within relationships. We can learn from their interactions with people, other horses, and build relationships that mimic human relationships.
Horses are very in tune with our emotions. Sometimes we as people try to hide our emotions. Horses have a way of knowing what we are feeling even before we do.
