Equine Therapy
What Is Equine Therapy?
Equine Therapy, or Eagala, is the majestic bond between people and horses and is a powerful force that can unlock the door to profound healing through equine therapy. Equine therapy offers a diverse range of techniques tailored to meet individual client needs and can provide a powerful source of inspiration. The healing power of horses can be harnessed through the many forms of equine-related therapy and treatment available. Some activities that could be involved are horseback riding or taking care of horses by walking and grooming them. Simply being around and visiting animals can be beneficial for some people. Through Equine therapy, we can empower ourselves to cultivate emotional regulation, self-confidence, and a sense of responsibility.
What is an equine therapy session?
Equine-assisted therapy is a specialized form of therapy that involves working with a horse, your therapist, and an expert handler to promote holistic healing.
Although you may not be physically mounted on the horse during a riding session, you are still able to connect with and control the magnificent animal, which can be a truly empowering experience. Your responsibilities mainly include performing tasks such as feeding the horse, grooming it, and leading it.
How does equine therapy help with trauma?
Equine therapy has numerous advantages, particularly when dealing with emotional trauma. It can help to process and overcome such trauma. Behavior mirroring and nonverbal communication with horses can help you understand yourself, your emotions, and your relationships. With awareness and understanding of trauma comes the power to heal and grow. Recognizing the impact of trauma is the first step towards overcoming it and moving forward towards a brighter future.
