HORSES SPIRITS HEALING, INC.

A number of national, state and local partnerships currently interface to implement this vision as depicted in the slide above. It is the combination of these institutions’ and organizations’ programs, skills and resources that provide the larger platform for EAAT to be successful as an alternate treatment in this region.

The Intermountain Equestrian Center has been key to the early success of the implementation, as the facility and staff members provide focus, resources, in kind support and the mechanism through which services can be delivered cost effectively.

HORSES SPIRITS HEALING, INC.

Following a referral from a VA source, each individual participant meets with the Program Director in conjunction with VA therapy staff (and/or others as deemed appropriate) to develop a treatment plan based on their unique goals. They then begin their horsemanship journey with approximately three groundwork sessions. In these sessions, they work with their horse on the ground, building relationships and learning fundamental skills such as general care, grooming, tacking, and leading. HSHI’s PATH certified instructors also teach riding skills with the intention of beneficially contributing to an individual's physical, mental, emotional and social well-being. The training provides an opportunity for participants to develop a trusting bond with their horse, instructor and volunteers.

All sessions use a solution-oriented approach, encouraging clients to seek their own effective path when encountering unfamiliar tasks and develop insights based on their own reactions to the situations. It has been shown to improve concentration, patience, problem solving and sequential thought processing. Physical benefits include increased balance and posture, core muscle strength, coordination, and motor control. For individuals with impaired mobility, the movement of the horse simulates to a human walking gait.

Individual progress notes are recorded after each session according to each participant’s goals. This is a family-oriented program, so family members are encouraged to participate with the counselors and therapists as appropriate.
