  • Hippotherapy

    How can it help you?

    is a form of physical, occupational and speech therapy in which a therapist uses the characteristic movements of a horse as a treatment tool to provide carefully graded sensory input.  Individualized treatment plans are established to improve neurological function, sensory processing and physical strength.  Improvements can be generalized to a wide range of daily activities including sports, classroom behavior, improved attention, and global strength.

  • Equus Abroad

    International Workshop Program

Programs

Come Experience the Difference!

From the moment a child arrives at our program, they immediately immerse in an intense comprehensive approach where we work on social skills, listening, focusing, and “being present”. We also run individual EAP-Equine Assisted Psychotherapy sessions for special interest group sessions like breast cancer patients, addictions, eating disorders, and many more.
