Equine Assisted Therapy allows the participant to have control over the horse and find a confidence within themselves that they may have thought lost. They are able to form a bond with the horse and socialize with other individuals with similar illnesses, thus lifting the isolated feelings that they may have experiences. Equine assisted activities raise confidence and esteem levels and give the participant a sense of accomplishment and self worth.Animals can facilitate positive changes in a person's life by creating opportunities to improve physical, social, emotional and mental support. Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy creates an opportunity for individuals to bridge the world that they have known to a world that they can create. The dynamic experiences of observing, working, grooming and even riding a horse develop strengths, social skills and sense of self.
