Hooves with Heart

Horses provide an addition aspect of the therapeutic process other animals cannot.

They are Prey animals; and therefore , they do not trust easily, demand respect to provide respect, and due to their size are not easily bullied or manipulated (Baugh, 2009)

Horses also live by a set of rules based on a family system, they are herd animals and their survival depends on their communication with other herd members.

Horses read subtle changes in human body language, emotion, positive and negative energy, and basic intentions of others (Hallberg 2008).

Equine Assisted Psychotherapy utilizes the horse's reponsive nature as a therapy tool and part of the therapy team's options for treatment. They are naturally curious, have individual personalities, and mirror human behavior (Toms 2006).
