The Full Story of This Unique Therapeutic Intervention

In equine therapy, horses have this amazing ability to create a sense of connection and grounding for people adjusting to being themselves again. Just being around horses can make many folks feel calm and truly present in the moment. And if they choose to ride, the gentle movement of a horse can work wonders—it helps release tension and pent-up emotions, making the whole experience even more therapeutic.

Horses can Help

EFFFECTIVENESS

In equine therapy, a horse can quickly sense if a participant is trustworthy enough to join the herd, highlighting any tendencies toward codependence. The horse's instinctual need for mutual trust and selflessness can reveal if someone is overly reliant or not looking out for the group's well-being. By observing how the horse responds, participants can gain insights into their own behavior patterns and work towards healthier relationships.

Her extensive expertise and nationwide judging experience provide riders with unparalleled insights. Jane has unflagging encouragement and cheerful enthusiasm. She recognizes the dedication of the amateur and their struggles to master riding and is never condescending and beloved for that.
