Animal Assisted Therapy

We want to be the tool in your toolbox. We offer animal-assisted therapy to anyone who may need it, whether that is someone with disabilities, someone in an assisted living program, or someone who just needs inner peace.

Our value:

In some cases, this is the last fun and exciting experience they had before leaving this earth.

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."
