Benefits of Equine-Assisted Services

Studies have shown that high quality equine-assisted services can be extremely beneficial to adults and children facing a wide range of physical, cognitive and emotional challenges. Developed and led by PATH Intl. certified and licensed instructors, our programs play an important role in:
  • Special education
  • Behavioral therapy
  • Physical therapy
  • Rehabilitation
Our goal-oriented lessons supplement and enrich these and other broader education and treatment plans, leading to better outcomes and improved quality of life. New research published in the journal Frontiers in Pediatrics, for example, shows that interactions with horses may have a calming effect that helps improve social outcomes in youth with autism.
