Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP)
"Horses are the variable, the unpredictable in the equation. Sitting across a desk from someone, thrashing out issues and solutions, it may be weeks, months or years before you get to try out an approach, if you even remember what course of action you thought best at the time to try. With the horse, they are the variable, they give instant feedback as to whether something is working or not, giving people a chance to adjust or revise the plan and so repeating the process and discovering what works for them, This can then be taken outside the arena and applied to life."
Our Equine Assisted Psychotherapy Program is:
-
Engaging, active, effective. We give families, groups, and individuals of any age the chance to get to the root of their problems, find better ways to communicate, and build healthier relationships.
-
For Any Problem. EATP is an increasingly popular method of treating addictions, trauma, social and behavioral disorders, depression, and more.
-
On The Ground. Not to be confused with therapeutic riding. It is 100% ground-based. Absolutely no prior horse experience is required.
-
A Group Effort. With teams made up of licensed mental health professionals, equine specialists, other professionals, and horses, you'll have everything you need to reach your personal development goals.
Equine Assisted Learning (EAL)
We use Horse Powered Reading® model that integrates social-emotional learning with academics; thus allowing students see and experience reading with their entire mind, body and emotions by creating metaphors for the skills involved in reading
Students interact with horses from the ground, while using toys and props to identify obstacles and learn five critical reading skills - phonemic awareness, decoding, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension
* Session goals vary depending upon the needs of the individual or group
Equine Assisted Organizational Development (EAOD)
The activities are designed specifically for each case, and attendees experience situations in which they need to define and apply strategies to solve situations and achieve objectives.
Using this model, it is possible to position teams in situations that resemble challenging situations of working life and organizations.
The attitudes and processes applied during the activities are evaluated and optimized through team discussion. This allows participants to establish similarities or metaphors facilitating reflection, connection and obtaining new tools.
Impressive and meaningful experiences are used, so that they are transferred to the work environment.
