Equine-assisted psychotherapy

Equine-assisted psychotherapy (EAP) is a therapeutic practice that involves interactions between individuals and horses to address emotional and psychological challenges. In a safe environment, clients engage with horses through activities such as grooming, leading, or riding. These interactions help individuals gain insights into their feelings, improve communication skills, and develop trust. EAP is often used for issues like anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship difficulties, providing a unique and experiential way to explore personal growth and healing alongside a trained therapist. The presence of horses, with their sensitivity and intuition, enriches the therapeutic process.
