Horses are well-suited for the therapy environment because of their natural instincts and communication methods. While humans can speak, explain, and rationalize thoughts, horses live in an entirely action-based social structure. This works well in therapy because in action-based exercises you must change your actions to change your results—horses don’t question your motives, they react to the actions you take.
Their hyper-vigilance and heavy reliance on body language is also a large part of the counseling process. Horses are significantly more aware of body language than humans and more readily recognize and react to levels of anger, anxiety, fear, or sadness that are imperceptible to humans. This provides real-time feedback for the participant and the therapist.
There is no magic or mystery as to the use of horses in therapy. They’re therapy partners that simply have the natural perception, response, and inclination to allow participants to try new communication strategies.

Counselor/Therapist, MSM
Listen to your body, follow your heart! When our hearts are wounded through trauma, neglect and deprivation, we lose touch with the heart's power. Depression, anxiety, fear of intimacy, addiction, stuckness may follow. Working through emotional issues at a body level allows for deep, lasting healing

Kelly Kirby
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
If you have experienced trauma in your life, you know how incredibly debilitating and fragmented life can become. It is often misunderstood in how these experiences bleed into every part of one’s life. I support my clients in the emotional release and healing to break free from the limitations currently holding them back, consciously and subconsciously. Understanding the mind, body energy connection and how the body and emotions intersect is a tool that is essential to learn in creating awareness and evolution in one’s growth and healing.
