Benefits of Animal Assisted Therapy:
1:"Equine therapy reduces anxiety and depression through physiological changes. Studies show that animal-assisted therapy reduces cortisol, the stress hormone. In addition, spending time with animals lowers blood pressure. And it increases the release of oxytocin, a natural chemical that promotes feelings of positivity and connection."
2: "Horses react to subtle changes in their environment. Therefore, they can sense a human's emotional state, including states of depression or anxiety."
3: "Thus, the horse acts as a sort of biofeedback machine for people, responding to and reflecting their emotions. Moreover, horses don’t judge people based on their appearance or their diagnoses. As a result, people feel accepted and unconditionally loved."
