Equine Assisted Therapy (EAT) refers to a broad range of treatment modalities where mental health professionals work alongside horses to support and improve social, emotional and physiological health.
EAT is experiential, meaning that learning occurs through doing: hands on activities, observing, touching, smelling and hearing. This allows us to activate all of our body senses rather than relying on or over-using our āthinkingā. This provides wonderful alternative to traditional talk therapies and often compliments room based treatment.
