Why Equine Assisted Therapy? The human-horse connection is a special one. It can go beyond the physical, and into the emotional and spiritual realms. Horses are known for their calming effect on people, and for their ability to help people find peace. In recent years, equine therapy has become more popular as a form of treatment for mental health needs. In some cases, it’s used in conjunction with traditional therapy to treat conditions such as depression, anxiety, and many other mental health challenges. What are the Best Equine Assisted Therapies? Equine-assisted psychotherapy programs use horses to help people with physical and psychological issues. The client will have the opportunity to bond with the horse and work through their issues while they interact with the horses. The benefits of horse assistance include increased trust and intimacy in human-animal interactions, which may lead to enhanced patient responsiveness to psychological interventions. Horses can also reduce stress levels in humans by providing positive social interactions, prompting self-regulation and promoting positive coping strategies through the reduction of chronic psychological stress.
