It is a 100% ground-based programme with no ridden element.

EAP is experimental in nature – the service users learn about themselves by participating in activities with horses and then processing feelings, behaviours and patterns both in one-to-one and group sessions with the therapists.

EAP has been found to be very effective in the following areas:

Challenging clients in a non-threatening manner
Rapidly breaking down defence mechanisms
Providing immediate cause and effect solutions
Captivating and holding attention
Promoting change from dysfunctional to successful patterns

Equine-assisted psychotherapy has been shown to illicit a powerful and effective
theraputic effect and can have an incredible impact on
 individuals, families and groups.
