Mission

Medicine Horse’s mission is simple yet profound: “We save lives, healing through the empathic power of the horse.” Our Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy program is a transformative approach that significantly enhances mental and emotional well-being. By blending therapeutic guidance with hands-on experiences with horses, participants see a marked reduction in anxiety, depression, and PTSD symptoms. They also experience a boost in self-esteem and self-awareness, leading to an overall increase in well-being. Our vision extends beyond healing—we aim to broaden our impact by advancing mental and behavioral health and breaking down barriers to make mental health services accessible to all.
