Why Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy Works

Relational Equine Therapy: Building Trust and Resilience
Horses are social creatures who value connEQction and relationships as humans do. They do not have the ability to live in the past or worry about the future. They live in the present. Horses have a unique sensitivity that provides immediate feedback in therapy sessions—helping clients build awareness, regulate emotions, and develop healthier patterns. Horses provide safe, healthy, and nonjudgmental relationships to clients as they process their mental, emotional, and behavioral concerns. The goal of EAP is forming a connEQcted, healthy relationship with a horse instilled with trust and resilience. Working alongside horses, clients practice setting boundaries, building trust, and fostering connection. These skills translate directly into stronger personal relationships and greater resilience in daily life.
