Equine Intervention
Event Date: Friday, April 08, 2011 at 2:07 PM
On May 8, 2011, Billie Hardee Home for Boys will be playing host to Equine Intervention. Equine Intervention, LLC provides all clients with the best experience in equine assisted psychotherapy (EAP) and equine assisted learning (EAL) available. EAP and EAL both center on ground activities that require clients to build or improve their skills in areas such as problem-solving, relationships, verbal and nonverbal communication, confidence, teamwork, and many more essential life skills. The goal of equine assisted therapy is not to teach riding or horsemanship, but to allow clients to be creative and work on their own solutions versus being directed by an instructor.
Why Horses?
Horses are powerful animals that have incredible perception and instincts. Horses have the ability to mirror strengths, weaknesses, and emotional well-being based strictly on non-verbal communication. Horses are social animals that have family/herd dynamics much like our own, which allows for an emotionally safe environment to examine our own lives. The horses create metaphors that parallel every day life in a way that no other therapy can possibly achieve. Horses provide a positive experience that clients will carry with them indefinitely.
