Equine-Assisted Activities and Therapies

Equine-Assisted Activities and Therapies (EAAT) involve interactions between individuals and horses to promote physical, emotional, and social well-being. These programs can include therapeutic riding, where participants learn riding skills while benefiting from the horse's movement, and ground-based activities that foster trust and communication. EAAT is used to support people with various challenges, such as disabilities, trauma, or anxiety, providing a unique approach to personal development and healing. The partnership with horses can enhance self-esteem, improve physical coordination, and facilitate emotional connection, making it a valuable complementary therapy in many rehabilitation and wellness programs.
