Equine-Assisted Services
Why horses?
Our horses are equal partners in all programs at Cross Keys Equine Therapy. Much like humans, horses are herd animals and are seeking connection with others. They are also oriented to the present moment and respond to subtle shifts in human breathing, body language, voice tone, muscle tension, and posture. They are invaluable as relationship partners because they provide immediate and non-judgmental feedback about the impact of our actions and thoughts. We believe the horse provides us with exactly what we need at any given time and clients are better able to receive a message through the interaction with the horse.
