Background
EAP – Equine Assisted Psychotherapy – intervention model for EAP without riding.
The model integrates activities with the horses in the arena followed by processing outcome of activities in the arena.
Therapeutic intervention with the aid of horses:

Horses, being prey animals, depend on the accuracy with which they asses their surroundings and their ability to identify discrepancies through interpreting body language.
-
Horses are herd animals with distinct hierarchy and roles. This enables meaningful individual and group interaction roles and authority.
-
Horses live in the "here and now" and react accordingly as in biofeedback.
-
Work with horses allow us to experience leading and motivating in a new challenging way which offers special opportunities for improved communication.
