During sessions, you don’t actually ride the horse. Instead, you carry out activities such as feeding, grooming and leading the horse around obstacles. Many of the benefits of equine assisted therapeutic sessions are likely due to the nature of the horses themselves. Horses are naturally gentle and calm creatures and are able to mirror and respond to human behaviour, meaning that they are highly e
ffective at interacting and working with others in a patient and non-judgmental manner. The activities and tasks you take part in will have an effect in enabling creative thinking and boosting self-confidence. You can develop skills such as communication, self-control, problem solving and accountability, as well as improving your self-esteem, empathy, flexibility and independence. Equine Assisted Therapeutic Sessions can also help to bring out emotions to express and feel, releases stress, teaches you to trust, work as a team and aid communication. Who we can help?
