Well-written clarification.

"When Can You Call It Equine Therapy? And When You Absolutely Shouldn’t.

Not everything with a horse and a hurting human is “equine therapy.”
And that’s not a dig. That’s respect — for the profession and the people.

Because here’s the truth:
“Therapy” should be protected term in many contexts.
And rightly so.

If a session is led by a qualified psychotherapist or counsellor, who is registered, supervised, insured, and working under a therapeutic contract?
✅ That might be therapy.

If a session is led by a trained wellbeing coach, a youth worker, an equine specialist, or a mentor offering emotional support through horses?

💛 Thats incredibly powerful work.

But it’s not therapy. And we shouldn’t pretend it is.

If you’re brushing ponies and holding space for big feelings,
if you’re building trust and helping people reconnect with themselves,
if you’re not pathologising or diagnosing…
that’s beautiful, relational, trauma-informed care.
But it’s not therapy.

AND NEWSFLASH ❤️ - 𝗶𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲!

At Equimotional, we offer equine wellbeing coaching.

We are proudly non-clinical.

We are grounded in ethics, safety, lived experience, and reflective practice.

We don’t promise “treatment.”

We promise presence, consent, connection and care.

The horse is not your therapist.
But the relationship might just be what you’ve been waiting for.

Let’s raise the standard in our sector.
Let’s get clear on our scope — and be proud of it.
Because pretending it’s therapy when it’s not?
That’s not healing. That’s harmful."
