βFrom his very first session with Horses for Hope, my son began to come back to us. This program has given me back the boy I thought was lost foreverβ

βI know itβs counselling, but it doesnβt feel like itβ
Horses for Hope uses the connection between horses and humans to heal and improve the lives of both.
People and horses work together in a safe and therapeutic environment to foster self-efficacy, empathy, resilience and emotional management.
The results include improved wellbeing, a regulated nervous system, new ways of handling challenges, and the knowledge you have improved the life of a horse that is learning to trust humans again.
βIt is the greatest honour to work with these traumatized horses, learning together to prove that not everyone in this world is bad and there is also hopeβ
