Carers are invited to a group Equine Assisted Wellbeing program, which involves interactions between individuals and horses to promote emotional growth and learning.
The program utilises horses as a medium to address life challenges and improve emotional wellbeing.

They often will mirror behaviour or emotions, conveying understanding and connection providing a feeling of safety.
