Animal Therapy

​

Provide physical, psychological and emotional benefits to this they interact with - this can be in a facility setting, a healthcare setting, assisted living, group home, school, daycare, library, churches and more!

​

Therapy horses are evaluated on ability to safely interact with a wide range of populations. 

​

Handlers are trained in best practices to ensure effective interactions supporting animal welfare. 

​

No special rights of access, except where welcomed. 

​

May not enter businesses with "no pets" policies or accompany their handler in the cabin of a plane. 

​

Service animals are trained to provide services in a different way and DO have the rights to access all places.

​

Our horses are not service animals. 

​

The human - animal bond is mutually beneficial and dynamic relationship between people and animals that positively includes the health and well being of both. 

​

When animals come to visit a facility there is more laughter and interactions among residents. It's easier to talk to residents during and after animal visits. 

​

The touch of an animal is safe, non-threatening and pleasant to most. It is easier to teach children to be empathetic with an animal rather than a human. 

​

Rather than thinking and talking about themselves and their problems, therapy animals provide a way for people to watch and talk to, and about the animals. Even people who may not like animals often enjoy watching their antics and reactions.
