Anyone had any experience with Equine Assisted Psychotherapy?
Question:
Answers:
I was in rehab for 6 months and my working with the horses got me thru. Made friends with the ladies running the program and actually moved in with one of them for 3 years. Any kind of work with horses is awesome. Thru my years here I'm seen the benfits. Not only with me and the gang I went through rehab with but also with physical, mental and emotional issues. We had a woman that had a stroke and very little range of motion when she first started coming. The last time I saw her she was able to stand with assistance in the stirrups. I've seen the calming effects on austic kids and kids with adhd and how a 30 minutes session with the horses and all the animals out there and with some turoing how much calmer and more attentive they were. And then to seen their grades inmprove. There are programs out there that are really good. Contact me at jleblanc904@yahoo if you want to chat some more and maybe I can but you in touch with my friends for their experiences.

no but i sure could use some
Its quiet new but it seems good when you apply it We use it with my 11-year-old son who's autistic. It's been a blessing for us. I also volunteer at a center and it's a joy to watch the kids light up and focus while on the horses. You'd be amazed at how much kids and horses connect. I've seen some of the horses that would usually be a handful for an experience rider calm down and be as gentle as a lamb with our challenged riders.
