The Powerful Equine Assisted Self Exploration (P.E.A.S.E.) program is our proprietary program wherein
our horses are used as a catalyst for breaking down the barriers that often arise from sharing difficult
feelings and emotions. Horses are like a mirror because they can reflect our emotions back to us, which
allows our P.E.A.S.E. program participants to observe our horses’ behavior and then analyze and
interpret it based on their own emotions.
Why Horses?
Horses recognize many human emotions simply from our body language, but they can also recognize
and react to human emotions exhibited by our facial expressions. They have the capacity to influence
humans biologically, too, by lowering our blood pressure and heart rate, which results in reduced stress,
and diminished tension, anxiety, and anger. In addition, collaborating with horses can significantly boost
confidence, foster empowerment, and build trust.
These traits are the pillar of why working with our horses proves successful in our P.E.A.S.E. program,
which can be beneficial for children dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, PTSD, and various forms of
trauma.
