Equine Therapy is the Use of Horses and a Fundamental Part of Treatment.
Equine Therapy is a valuable addition to a proven method of helping people deal with all manner of mental, emotional and behavioral issues.
You don’t have to know anything about horses to benefit from Equine Therapy. Inspire Malibu utilizes highly trained experts in the use of AAT (animal assisted therapy) to help clients resolve “unfinished business.” Emotional issues that they have not faced or dealt with for any number of reasons are successfully worked through and resolved when caring for, or interacting with a horse.
“Participants have reported significant reductions in psychological symptoms and enhancements in psychological well being after undergoing treatment.”
