Equine therapy is changing the lives of people from all walks of life. Whether it's people with disabilities, veterans with PTSD, or people struggling with mental health, addiction, or trauma, interactions with horses can pave the way for healing and growth by challenging them to look at themselves and the world in a new way. Horses have a profound power to heal by helping people process their emotions, live in the present moment, develop confidence, learn to trust, and connect with themselves and others. In addition to the emotional benefits, equine therapy can also offer those with disabilities an opportunity to gain a sense of control over their bodies.

 

A Horse for the Soul tells the story of several individuals whose lives have been changed by therapy with horses. It features the Medicine Horse Program and Colorado Therapeutic Riding Center, two organizations near Boulder, Colorado that provide equine therapy.
