The focus of EAP is not on riding…or horsemanship.
In fact approximately 90% of EAP takes place on the ground.
EAP is an interactive, experiential, hands-on-approach where
you and the therapist have an opportunity to see and reflect
on how you interact with specific situations in your daily
life. You are immediately able to see the effects of your
actions by how the horse responds
to you.
EAP uses a team approach that includes a horse professional
and therapist, client, and/or parents, and a horse. Whether
EAP is used in group or individual therapy, you will be
better able to look more deeply at the core issues behind
your attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors. You’ll also
learn that relationships take time, work, respect, and honesty.
And another great benefit of EAP is that it
can be a lot of fun!
