Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy 

What is NOT ordinary about our horses?

​

Our horses’ foundational training is grounded in relationship-based and Emotional Horsemanship, which recognizes horses as sentient beings with their own thoughts, emotions, and choices in interactions with humans. This non-fear-based approach fosters authentic connection and mutual respect, allowing the herd to engage willingly, greet participants, and build meaningful relationships.

​

How can relationship and emotional horsemanship morph into therapy?

​

Emotional Horsemanship allows horses to express themselves authentically, including saying “no” and processing emotions without fear of "correction". By offering patience and space for the horse to respond thoughtfully, they learn to navigate their emotions safely, and their responses become calm and predictable. This mutual trust—where horses feel safe not to react aggressively, and humans learn to honor boundaries—creates a powerful model for human relationships and emotional processing. Their "no's" become quiet... no kicks, bites or charges because they've been consistently listened to in a soft way. We can trust them not to hurt us and they trust us not to hurt them. What would it be like if humans reacted to others this way?

​

Every horse in our program has a story and has, over time, learned to lower reactivity and engage safely with humans. Observing and interacting with the herd provides clients with a living example of patience, emotional regulation, and nonjudgmental presence—lessons that can be applied to their own lives. In this work, the therapist is not positioned on a pedestal but walks alongside clients as a fellow human, guiding them through the challenges of healing with empathy and authenticity.
