Equine Assisted Therapy Group

Why horses? As herd-bound, prey animals, horses have an extraordinary ability to read nonverbal communication – picking up on messages we are sending that we aren't always conscious of. Horses respond to us in ways that remind us of other people and situations in our life. In these interactions, horses become metaphors & mirrors, providing the opportunity to work on ourselves in relation to those aspects of our lives. Horses don't know the labels we apply to ourselves and to others. Horses are in the moment; in relationship without judgments that humans place on each other and ourselves.
