Method of therapy
Horses are special creatures. They are majestic, strong, and can display a broad range of emotions. The relationship between humans and horses is one that has been sustained for over 6,000 years. More recently, these gentle giants have become key participants in the animal-assisted therapy to improve the mental health of many people around the world.
Equine-assisted therapy is an umbrella term that includes several therapeutic activities involving horses.
​
Kylie facilitates the Equine Wisdom Program which supports a wide range of learnings for children and adults. This is a wonderful program that focuses on building life skills capacities and it addresses social and emotional challenges that we face as an individual.
