R.I.P. Roly Poly (our beloved therapy horse)

by admin | Sep 14, 2018

After years of service and helping many clients through hard times during our therapy sessions, we say goodbye to our beloved miniature horse, Roly. May you cross the rainbow bridge and gallop through the green fields of horsie heaven with Cavalia, Mistery, Star, Cor de Amore, Maple, Breezy, Faith, and the other 2 little filly’s we lost this year.

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.
