Equine Assisted Therapy

$75.00 for one hour

Horses are very good at taking care of themselves. They serve as examples of health in many ways. How we approach a horse often mimics how we are in human relationships. Equine assisted therapy helps with emotional regulation, anxiety reduction, increased awareness, living in the present moment, healthy boundaries and empowerment. Equine therapy is effective. It has been shown to decrease needed therapy time by a third.  

Eagala Trained. All of our work with the horse is ground work. We do not ride the horse. For groups, I will lead with my equine specialist.
