Equine-assisted psychotherapy (EAP) is an effective therapeutic tool for emotional growth and learning. It is a team approach utilizing an individual licensed to practice counseling and a horse professional. The focus is not riding. In fact, over 90% of EAP activities are done on the ground. Individual or group participants learn assertiveness and problem solving skills in their interaction with the horses in targeted activities. The horses have the ability to mirror human body language and provide a powerful opportunity for learning. Following a session, participants discuss issues, emotions and behaviors revealed by the equine-assisted psychotherapy activities in a supportive environment that acknowledges creativity and the power of choice.
