More about this center
About the Program
The website says Healing Hooves was founded in 2002. It says a licensed therapist, a certified equine specialist and horses work together in its equine-assisted psychotherapy sessions.
For individual therapy, the site says no riding or prior horse experience is needed and that interactions can take place on the ground. The home page also lists horsemanship, riding and metaphors among its programs, with riding described as structured, repetitive physical movement.
Couples sessions use feedback from the horses to work on the relationship, according to the site. Team-building workshops run in half-day, full-day or multi-day formats.
