Equine therapy, also known as equine-assisted therapy or equine-assisted psychotherapy, is a therapeutic practice that involves interactions between patients and horses to promote emotional growth and healing. It is often used to address a variety of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, PTSD, and behavioral problems.
During sessions, participants may engage in activities such as grooming, riding, or simply spending time with horses. These interactions can help individuals develop skills such as trust, empathy, and communication, while also providing a sense of calm and connection. Trained therapists typically guide the process, integrating mental health strategies with the unique dynamics of working with horses.
Equine therapy can be particularly effective for people who may struggle with traditional talk therapy, as the non-judgmental nature of horses can create a safe space for healing and self-discovery.
