Equine Therapy

For centuries there has been a connection, fascination and admiration of horses and the power and grace that they exude. Horses are non-judgemental and can mirror human emotion which allows for positive therapeutic moments with seniors and those individuals with special needs. 

The crucial aspect of a therapeutic modality involves a safe, nurturing environment for clients and horses.  Equine Therapy Services cannot be measured in a strictly scientific manner but rather by the magic that occurs through the human-equine connection.
