EQUINE ASSISTED PSYCHOTHERAPY

Following an initial assessment, we create a personalised support plan and therapy goals which we will work towards over the course several sessions in the company of our wonderful ponies and horses.

​

What is Equine Therapy?

Equine assisted therapy incorporates horses and ponies into theraputic activities to promote confidence, emotional awareness, empathy and social skills. Sessions are tailored to individual needs and take place outdoors, with a focus on mindfulness and connection with the animals, through activities such as feeding, grooming and leading.

​

Who is it suitable for?

Equine assisted therapy can be particularly beneficial for children and young people with:

• Anxiety

• Low Self-Esteem

• Previous Trauma/PTSD

Always working at your child's pace, we work towards their goals and develop their confidence; empowering them to live happy and fulfilled lives.
