Equine-Assisted Therapy

The Neuroscience of Mirroring

Equine-Assisted Therapy is a powerful experiential modality that utilizes the unique relationship between horse and human to facilitate psychological growth. Because horses are prey animals, they are biologically tuned to the nervous systems of those around them.

Unlike traditional clinical settings, the horse provides immediate, honest feedback. This "mirroring" allows clients to witness their own emotional states in real-time.
