New Arrival at Helping Hands!!!

by admin | Apr 2, 2017

Welcome to the world little girl! Have you ever wondered what it must be like to be seeing everything new for the first time? That’s what it’s like for a baby horse, but also what it’s like for those of you early in your recovery. In a way, it is like being born all over again. Slowly, those things that we have been looking at all of our lives begin to look differently: problems can become opportunities for living and growing. Pain can become a sign of healing. Recovery is experiencing life in a new way. It is seeing life through new eyes.

Donations help us take care of all the therapy animals, and be able to provide equine therapy to those in need, at no charge. Thus, donations help us as our mission statement states, to utilize the healing abilities of animals to help people rise to their full potential.

Equine Assisted Therapy is incorporating the experiential use of horses in therapy for the purpose of emotional growth and learning. It is a collaborative effort between a therapist, a professional horse specialist, the horses and the client(s). This is an experiential mode of therapy, which means it is based on activities on the ground with the horses. These activities can then be processed to understand emotions, behaviors, and patterns which can lead to change.

Horses are highly sensitive animals, so they mirror the emotions we bring into the arena; drawing out information we may not even know or be aware of.
