    Horses have long been admired for their strength, grace, and beauty, but their role in human healing extends far beyond these physical qualities. Over the years, research and practice have increasingly shown that horses possess a unique ability to promote emotional, psychological, and even physical well-being. Equine-Assisted Therapy (EAT) leverages this connection between humans and horses to foster healing in individuals facing a variety of challenges, from trauma and mental health struggles to physical disabilities. 
    The connection between humans and horses is deeply rooted in history. Horses have been companions to humans for thousands of years, assisting in transportation, agriculture, and warfare. Throughout this history, humans have formed a deep bond with these majestic animals. Today, this bond has evolved into a therapeutic relationship, where horses act as partners in the healing process. Unlike traditional therapies, the equine approach is hands-on, experiential, and often non-verbal, allowing clients to engage in ways that feel natural and safe. 
    One of the most remarkable aspects of horses is their ability to reflect human emotions. Horses are incredibly sensitive animals, capable of picking up on subtle cues such as body language, tone of voice, and even a person’s emotional state. This sensitivity allows horses to act as mirrors, reflecting back emotions that individuals may not be aware of or may have difficulty expressing. This process can be incredibly insightful for clients, offering them an opportunity to better understand and process their emotions.
