Equine-Informed Therapy

for Anxiety & Depression

Healing in Connection, Grounded in Nature

Anxiety and depression can feel isolating, overwhelming, and difficult to put into words. Equine-informed therapy offers a powerful, heart-centered path toward healing—through connection, presence, and the gentle wisdom of horses.

Why Horses?

Horses are deeply intuitive and emotionally attuned animals. They respond to human emotions in real time, offering honest, nonjudgmental feedback that helps clients connect with their internal experiences. In equine-informed therapy, the horse becomes a co-facilitator in the healing process—helping clients build awareness, foster emotional regulation, and restore trust in themselves and others.

How It Helps with Anxiety

Anxiety often keeps us stuck in our heads—racing thoughts, tension, or fear of the future. Working with horses supports clients in:

  • Grounding in the present moment through mindful interactions

  • Learning to regulate nervous system responses with the help of the horse's calm presence

  • Building confidence through nonverbal communication and relational skills

  • Challenging perfectionism or avoidance in a safe, supportive environment

How It Helps with Depression

Depression can feel heavy and disconnected. Equine-informed therapy brings in warmth, movement, and meaningful connection. Clients often experience:

  • Increased motivation through engaging, embodied experiences

  • A sense of purpose by building a relationship with the horse

  • Restored connection to emotions, nature, and self

  • Compassionate reflection through the horse’s intuitive responses

No Riding Required

Equine-informed therapy is primarily a ground-based experience. You don’t need any prior experience with horses. The focus is on emotional growth, not horsemanship. Clients interact with the horses in ways that feel safe and supportive—through observation, touch, guided activities, and reflection.
