Equine Therapy

 

What is Equine-Assisted Therapy?

Equine Assisted Therapy workshops offer a unique experience.  Participants learn about themselves and others by participating in activities with horses and then processing (discussing) feelings, behaviors and patterns. 

Equine-Assisted Therapy:

  • Challenges participants in a non-threatening manner

  • Rapidly breaks down defense barriers

  • Provides immediate cause and effect situations

  • Promotes change from a unhealthy patterns to successful ones

  • Family Workshops are geared for families who would like to learn about communication skills, relationships and family dynamics, self-care, parenting, fun and play.  Workshops are for parents and children 10 years old and up, providing a multi-family experience where families learn from each other and offer support and encouragement.

  • Weekly Sessions may be tailored to meet your individual group needs.  This setting is beneficial for agencies, small therapy groups, aftercare groups and team-building for all ages.  Areas of focus can be communication skills, trust-building, risk-taking, problem-solving, leadership or well-being.  Two hour sessions meet with a maximum of 8 participants for 5 weeks.

  • Weekend Workshops enable individuals to stay at a local camp and participate in Equine-Assisted Therapy.  This allows them to experience therapy on a deeper level, away from the distractions of everyday life.  Contact Laura at 342-0478 for the next scheduled weekend workshop.  Two-day and four-day programs are available.

  • Half-Day and All-Day workshops may be developed to meet the needs of your specific situation.  Half-day and all-day workshops can be scheduled to allow for more in-depth awareness and insights.

  • Individual Sessions may be scheduled at any time.   Individual and family sessions may be scheduled.

Physical and emotional safety are of primary concern with these workshops.  Experience or prior knowledge of horses is NOT required.
