Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) is yet another method of psychotherapy which has been developed by incorporating horses to facilitate and promote health, wellness and change in people who are not functioning effectively within their daily lives.

EAP is an experiential, hands-on method whereby participants learn about themselves and others by participating in activities with the horses and then discussing or processing their experiences, thoughts, behaviours and patterns of interaction with the therapist.

How participants handle these experiences or activities provides invaluable information which further assists both therapist and client to get a deeper knowledge and understanding of the initial complaint and explore available options of facilitating change.
