You’ve heard of Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) for mental health.Horses in particular are powerful partners for helping both young and mature clients learn emotional wellness skills.Exquisitely sensitive to tiny fluctuations in autonomic arousal, horses will amaze you with their ability to quietly regulate human emotion, and allow themselves to be soothed and regulated by the human as well.Horses are the therapy animal of choice for supporting humans to learn emotional self-regulation and modulation.
