Equine Therapy

Equine-assisted therapy incorporates horses into the therapeutic process. People engage in activities such as grooming, feeding, leading and riding a horse while being supervised by a certified PATH instructor.

Goals of this form of therapy including helping people develop skills such as emotional regulation, self-confidence, and responsibility. With mature horses weighing anywhere in the range of 900 to 2,000 pounds or more, it might feel a bit intimidating to have such a large, majestic creature participating in your therapy sessions.

​

However, equine-assisted therapy is growing in popularity due to its experiential approach and some burgeoning evidence of its effectiveness. ​At Horsin' Around Therapeutic Riding Center our aim is to provide needed care and learning through the joy of horses.
