Equine-assisted coaching is a powerful and effective form of healing that has been proven to improve physical, emotional, and psychological well-being. A review of studies on equine-assisted therapy published in the Journal of Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing found that equine-assisted coaching was effective in reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression in individuals with a variety of mental health conditions. This form of coaching utilizes the integration of horse contact and connection to improve physical, emotional, and psychological well-being.

By interacting with horses, individuals can experience a complete transformation, including increased self-esteem and self-confidence, improved social skills and communication, and increased physical strength and coordination.

Typically, our therapy programs resemble the following structure:

1. Assessment: The first step in equine-assisted coaching is often an assessment, during which the therapist or coach will evaluate the client's needs and determine how equine-assisted therapy can best address those needs. This may involve observing the client interacting with horses or asking the client to complete specific tasks with the horses.

2. Groundwork: In equine-assisted coaching, clients typically work with horses on the ground, rather than riding them. This may involve grooming the horse, leading it through an obstacle course, or practicing other activities that require communication and trust between the client and the horse.

3. Reflection: As clients work with the horses, the therapist 0r coach may ask them to reflect on their experiences and identify any patterns or insights that emerge. This can help clients gain a greater understanding of their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and develop strategies for coping with challenges in their lives.

4. Integration: Finally, the therapist or coach will work with the client to integrate what they have learned in equine therapy into their daily lives. This may involve setting goals, practicing new skills, or developing a plan for ongoing support.
