Horses, as prey animals, have an innate state of awareness and an ability to sense our thoughts and feelings. Their sensitivity creates a unique, non-judgmental way to build trust, feel seen, accepted, and strengthen social skills. They can help calm a person’s nervous system, model healthy emotional expression, and offer safety in a way that no other human can.
