Medicine Horse

Medicine Horse offers a variety of equine-based psychotherapy programs for groups, including: Wholeness with Horses seeks to enable women impacted by breast cancer to rediscover themselves, reconnect with the wisdom of their own bodies and return to a place of wholeness. Together with the horses, we'll have an opportunity to share our stories, create community and empower one another. Operation Be Herd partners with horses to bring a unique approach to emotional and relationship healing. Observing and interacting with horses, we develop insights into concepts such as how to decrease our reactivity, increase our presence and focus, and how to be with difficult and overwhelming emotional experiences. Just Say Whoa is a group geared toward teens who are struggling with behaviors such as truancy, substance abuse, emotion regulation, and low self-esteem. Equine-assisted psychotherapy activities are utilized to develop communication skills, increase emotional self-awareness, build connections and learn boundary setting. Participants are encouraged to identify feelings and explore positive expression of emotions and needs, develop leadership skills and a sense of appreciation and empathy for themselves and others.
