Equine Assisted Therapy Benefits

Equine assisted therapy is a holistic, experiential and highly specialised form of therapy that involves working in collaboration with a horse and an expert horse handler.

In equine therapy sessions, participants may engage in various activities with horses and ponies, such as grooming, leading, groundwork exercises.

These activities are designed to help individuals connect with the horses, develop a sense of responsibility, and work on specific therapeutic goals.

Equine therapy is believed to offer a range of therapeutic benefits, including:

Improved self-esteem

Improved mental and physical well-being

Reduced Stress and Anxiety

My 3 boys have just had such a lovely session with Julie, nutmeg and Ozzy. In their words “that was better than twin lakes!” And hadn’t even drove off before they were asking to come back. Highly recommend.

My daughter and her friend have just been for a 2 hour session with Julie and they absolutely loved it, best day they’ve had apparently. Julie was very patient with them and they can not wait to go back.
