Horse assisted therapies
Horse assisted therapies are found to help with social readjustment and emotional repairing. Due to horses being sensitive, vulnerable animals, but also majestic and playful, they help build self esteem and confidence in people with depression or anxieties.
Horses are able to read how a person is feeling and are totally non judgemental
