Equine-Assisted Services:
Equine-assisted services (EAS) is recommended as an optimal unifying term to refer to multiple services in which professionals incorporate horses and other equines to benefit people.
Therapy
Related to the broad area of therapy, licensed therapy professionals may incorporate horses in six distinct therapies: counseling, occupational therapy, physical therapy, psychotherapy, recreational and speech-language pathology. These licensed therapy professionals work within the scope of practice of their particular discipline.
Learning
Related to the broad area of learning, specially trained or certified professionals may incorporate horses in three distinct non-therapy services: equine-assisted learning in education, equine-assisted learning in organizations, and equine-assisted learning in personal development.
Horsemanship
Related to the broad area of horsemanship, equine professionals may offer four distinct non-therapy services that are adapted from traditional equine disciplines of horseback riding, driving, and vaulting. These include adaptive equestrian sport, adaptive riding or therapeutic riding, driving, and interactive vaulting. Equine professionals with specialized training or certifications provide these services to individuals and groups with diverse needs.
Robotic Horse Simulator
This therapeutic service provides the simulated movement of a horse using biomechanical technology through Chariot Innovations MiraColt™, manufactured right here in the USA!
