Understanding Equine Therapy

Welcome to the world of Mindful Equine Therapy, a unique approach that combines the healing power of horses with mindfulness practices to support children’s emotional well-being. This therapeutic intervention has been extensively researched and proven to provide significant benefits to children struggling with trauma, grief and loss, autism, Asperger’s syndrome, and ADHD.

Is Therapy Using Horses Effective for ADHD?

The effect of equine-assisted therapies on behavioural, psychological and physical symptoms for children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder: A systematic review

Trauma, Grief, and Loss
Children who have experienced trauma, grief, and loss often struggle with emotional regulation and trust issues. Equine Therapy has been shown to reduce symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), improve emotional regulation, and enhance resilience. The presence of horses and the therapeutic activities help children process their emotions, develop coping strategies, and experience healing.

Autism and Asperger’s Syndrome
Children on the autism spectrum, including those with Asperger’s, often face challenges in social interactions, communication, and sensory processing. Equine Therapy provides a unique and engaging environment that supports their specific needs. Interacting with horses helps children improve social skills, enhance non-verbal communication, and develop sensory integration. The rhythmic motion and touch of the horse also have a calming effect, reducing anxiety and promoting relaxation.

ADHD
Children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) often struggle with impulse control, focus, and hyperactivity. Equine Therapy offers a structured and stimulating environment that promotes self-regulation and attention. The responsibility of caring for and riding a horse requires focus, patience, and discipline, leading to improved concentration and self-control in children with ADHD.

Mindfulness and Equine Therapy

Mindfulness is a practice that involves being fully present in the moment, without judgment. When combined with Equine Therapy, mindfulness enhances the therapeutic benefits for children. Mindfulness activities, such as deep breathing exercises and guided meditation, help children develop self-awareness, emotional regulation, and a sense of calmness. The presence of horses further supports the mindfulness practice, as they naturally embody qualities such as grounding, non-judgment, and living in the present moment.
Mindful Equine Therapy is a powerful intervention that has been research-proven to support children struggling with trauma, grief and loss, autism, Asperger’s syndrome, and ADHD. By combining the healing power of horses with mindfulness practices, children can experience emotional healing, improved social skills, enhanced self-regulation, and increased well-being. Explore the transformative world of Mindful Equine Therapy and witness the positive impact it can have on the lives of children.

Equine Therapy: What’s all the hype?

If you’d told me a few months ago that a horses at Thrive Farm Ga named JW could help my soul to heaI, I would have said you’d lost it… but turns out I was the one who was lost and I didn’t even know it!! Until the first time JW looked at me… with those big brown eyes full of honesty & compassion. It was as if he whispered, “Hi Heather, I see you.” ❤️🐎🥰 I highly recommend as well as equine therapy to also incorporate the mindfulness coaching! Susan has a heart for helping people on their own journey to finding inner peace!

It was not happenstance that I booked a stay at a described beautiful animal farm for my children and myself. While there, I inquired about equine therapy for my children. Immediately, they enjoyed not just the horses but the goats, and the many dogs and cats. All incredibly friendly, which I believe is a direct correlation to their safe and joyful environment!

Little did I know I would come to greatly benefit from Susan’s expertise. I often forget her vast experience and gained knowledge from school teacher and principal, mother of 2, owner and main conductor of her farm, counseling, local community services, and life trials seems to parallel a few years apart. Susan was, and always will be there for her clients. She is passionate about getting them to cross the chasm from self defeat to self worth, always learning and growing. There were times life’s trials seem to knock me down faster than I could get up, but Susan never judged me and instead gave me an encouraging message often needed as much as air. I am forever grateful for the time, knowledge, and energy she poured into me even when I did not have any to respond. She never gave up on me and at a time when I felt more alone in my 40 years on this earth, what a blessing to have that. For such a time is this. I love you and am thankful for you!
