Benefits of Equine-Assisted Services (EAS)
Balance and Strength: Riding causes the participant’s muscles to work together, which often increases balance and core strength, and may reduce muscle tension.
Social and Recreational: The horse, as a motivator, promotes an increase in social awareness and personal achievement among participants.
Confidence and Self-Esteem: Through the encouragement of the instructors and volunteers, participants grow in confidence and self-esteem as they are empowered to handle 1,000 pound animals.
Joy and Relationships: Participants build trusting relationships with their horses and team, bringing joy and fulfillment!
Communication Skills: Communication is key in life and horses are remarkable teachers!
