The horse will teach you if you'll listen.

Equine-assisted psychotherapy is an evidenced based, experiential treatment approach that is proven effective for treating trauma and stress-related disorders. Research indicates that working with horses helps to lower blood pressure and heart rate, reduce stress, and provide relief from symptoms of anxiety, depression, and substance abuse disorders. Horses teach emotional identification, coping skills, effective communication skills, how to set and hold healthy boundaries, and how to form a safe relationship. 

This approach is effective for individuals, families, and groups, and is an amazing tool for team building in a corporate environment.
