Benefits of our Program

Studies have indicated that Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) has been successful in helping clients show marked improvements in the following areas:

• Assertiveness

• Emotional awareness

• Empathy

• Stress tolerance

• Flexibility

• Impulse control

• Problem-solving skills

• Self-actualization

• Independence

• Self-regard

• Social responsibility

• Interpersonal relationships

Many of the benefits of Equine Assisted Psychotherapy and Learning are likely due to the nature of the animal with which the client and specialized treatment team are interacting with. Horses are typically non-judgmental, have no preconceived expectations or motives, and are highly effective at mirroring attitudes and behaviors of the humans with whom they are working. Our programs provide 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.
