Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP)
EAP is the collaboration of a credentialed mental health professional and equine specialist while providing a therapeutic unmounted equine activity. The activity is created and guided by both equine and mental health professionals to support the therapeutic goals and needs of individuals, families, or therapeutic groups. Equine Assisted Psychotherapy often utilizes metaphors and draws parallels to real-life experiences, while allowing clients experiential opportunities to practice new skills.
Equine Assisted Learning (EAL)
EAL is typically provided with a qualified equine specialist and other additional staff as needed. The activities for these sessions are created and led by the equine specialist with the intent to plant seeds and opportunities for personally driven exploration. Sessions will provide highly engaging experiential unmounted activities with horses. Equine-assisted learning sessions are most beneficial to clients who have already experienced EAP.
Organizational Development
Organizational Development through equine activities can serve small organizations and groups to larger corporations. Through interactions with professional peers during equine experiences, individuals and groups can address specified needs or follow the parallels and metaphors that are presented in the moment. Groups can address goals such as leadership, team development, communication, respect, boundaries, delegation and relationship building or repair to name only a few.
Why Horses Matter
Experience the wonder of horses!
Horses act as a mirror for our emotions, thoughts, and feelings and provide opportunities to experience and practice life sills in a safe and non-judgmental, calming environment. Complete with metaphors and parallels that speak louder than words, horses speak volumes.
