About Us
OUR CORE BELIEFS
Horseplay is rooted in the understanding that healing happens when we feel safe, seen, and supported. Horses offer a nonjudgmental presence and an intuitive ability to mirror human emotions, helping us access deeper self-awareness and emotional regulation in a natural, engaging way.
Unlike traditional talk therapy or clinical sessions, equine-assisted work is active, sensory-rich, and often more motivating, especially for people who thrive with hands-on experiences. The novelty and joy of interacting with horses increases engagement, which improves outcomes and encourages long-lasting growth.
Working with horses supports both mind and body. Clients experience movement, connection, and emotional shifts in ways that are grounded, gentle, and often transformational.
Benefits of equine-assisted services include:
Increased self-confidence
Decreased anxiety and depression
Improved emotional awareness and regulation
Enhanced social skills and relationship-building
Greater impulse control
Increased physical strength, balance, and resilience
