Horses offer a non-judgment relationship, congruence, and transparency, something often many of us have been lacking in our lives. They can teach us how to be brave, how to manage big emotions and most importantly, because they are such magnificent creatures they sit with us while we deal with our stuff. EAP has been found to be an effective treatment for children, adolescents, and adults including: • Complicated Grief • Depression and anxiety • Difficult behaviours • Children and adolescents ‘at risk’ with maladaptive behaviours • Disruptive behaviours • Adolescents with depression, anxiety and low esteem •

“ I love working with my horses with clients because they offer such profound feedback. You can’t not be present when you are near them. From the smallest ponies to the largest herd member they all offer something different. They offer a non-judgment relationship, congruence, and transparency, something often many of us have been lacking in our lives. “ LJ
