Why Equine Facilitated Therapy Groups are different than traditional groups
Horses mirror our emotions. They are highly sensitive to human emotion and body language.
Horses have a calming effect. They have an electromagnetic field that radiates from their heart.
Horses are prey animals and spend their time in the present moment, observant of their environment to aid in their survival.
