There are many mental, emotional, and physical health benefits to equine assisted activities and therapies.

Mentally: connecting with horses requires complete focus, engages bilateral brain activity and neuroplasticity.

Emotionally: horses naturally impact our nervous systems and slow down our hearts, helping us to feel calmer and more connected.

Physically: working with horses, mounted and unmounted, is excellent exercise. Both burn calories, relieve stress, lower blood pressure, improve cardiovascular health, increase muscular-skeletal strength, improve balance and coordination, release endorphins and boost mood.

In-person sessions are offered at the facility best fitted for the goals and needs of each client. Location is disclosed upon confirmation of the first session.

Equine sessions occur alongside the guidance of a trained certified equine specialist in mental health and/ or therapeutic riding instructor.
