What are the benefits of equine therapy?
Helpful for treating anxiety, depression, and proclivities toward isolation by providing a sense of emotional connection and trust.
Working with horses is a great way to exercise communication skills, especially non-verbal communication.
Horses are generally calm, providing a more relaxing experience for those interacting with them and taking care of them, reducing stress.
