therapy horses
Equine emotional support
Therapy horses are horses used in therapeutic programs for people with physical, emotional, or cognitive challenges.
Unlike service animals that assist individuals directly, therapy horses work in supervised settings where patients interact with them for rehabilitation or emotional support.
Equine-assisted therapy may involve riding, grooming, or simply being near the animals: The veterans' center brought in therapy horses to help with PTSD treatment.
