Equine-assisted services go far beyond riding or grooming a horse—they engage deep processes of healing, learning, and growth. But what are the mechanisms of action that make these services so impactful? In this webinar, we’ll explore: • How horses support psychotherapy through emotional co-regulation, feedback, safe attachment, and metaphor. • How equine-assisted learning fosters problem-solving, communication, and resilience through experiential, embodied, and multisensory engagement. • The shared processes that explain why EAS changes lives—whether in the therapy arena or the classroom. Whether you’re a clinician, educator, researcher, or equine professional, you’ll leave with a deeper understanding of how to connect theory with practice and harness the horse-human bond for meaningful outcomes.
