Horseback therapy
Horseback therapy, also known as equine-assisted therapy, involves interactions with horses to promote emotional, social, and psychological well-being. Through activities like grooming, riding, and guided exercises, individuals develop skills such as communication, confidence, and emotional regulation. The natural, responsive behavior of horses serves as a reflective medium, helping participants gain insights into their feelings and behaviors. This therapy is often used to assist people with mental health issues, trauma, or developmental challenges, leveraging the calming presence and social nature of horses to facilitate personal growth and healing in a supportive environment.
