What is Equine Therapy?
Equine therapy harnesses the therapeutic benefits of working with horses to promote physical, emotional, and psychological healing. Led by a PATH certified therapeutic riding instructor, with the assistance of trained volunteers, riders learn every step of the ground work, grooming, tack-up and un-tack, riding skills and even life skills with each lesson. Every rider learns at their own pace with the support they need to feel confident and safe.
For those facing disabilities, PTSD, anxiety, grief, or other challenges, horses offer an unparalleled source of comfort, connection, and empowerment. Each session is a step toward healing in an environment that’s as safe as it is inspiring.
