Equine therapy sessions are based on the theory that horses through centuries of development and survival as creatures of prey are highly intuitive and acutely receptive. Beloved therapy horses offer participants direct feedback to a participant's emotional and physical interactions during equine therapeutic activities. Perceptive and loving creatures, therapy horses assist the participant in building problem solving strategies to achieve short and long term goals.
​
Equine therapeutic activities are based on natural horsemanship activities and follow an interactive
curriculum that offers participants sound horsemanship skills and a thorough overview of their Equine Team member.​
​
The Equine program is designed to meet the individual needs of the participants- goals, objectives, strategies, and achievements are determined by participant and team.
