What will our webinar be about?
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
