Where will sessions take place?

Typically we will spend time outside in the ring, paddocks or inside the barn. Part of the experience is spending time outside.

No, equine therapy doesn’t include any riding but rather we’ll spend time doing groundwork (grooming, leading, etc.)

What’s the difference between equine assisted therapy and traditional talk therapy?

Equine assisted therapy is a more experiential form of therapy than traditional talk therapy. The same therapeutic approaches are used, however we take the sessions outside with horses.
