Equine Therapy Programs for Troubled Girls From The State of Esperance, WA
For over one thousand years, equine-assisted therapy (animal-assisted therapy involving grooming, taking care of, and sometimes riding horses) has rehabilitated the minds and bodies of those who have used it.
Today, Equine-Assisted Therapy (EAT) has seen a resurgence in popularity and application. Most notably, regarding the treatment of at-risk and mentally-ill troubled teens (including those from the city of Esperance, WA.)
Specialized treatment facilities, aptly named Equine Therapy Programs (EAP), are residential treatment centers and therapeutic boarding schools that structure their facility's treatment around EAT.
It's important for parents from the Esperance, WA region and surrounding areas to know that, while most facilities may be far removed from their home, transport services can safely transport their child to any program located in the United States.
According to Recent Studies, Equine-Assisted Therapy is Scientifically-Backed
While the research into equine therapy is relatively new, the preliminary studies thus far have yielded more than promising results. Numerous accredited and renowned publications, such as 2011's 'The Efficacy of Equine Therapy for Psychological Disorders,' concluded that there is evidence to support that EAT effectively treats severe behavioral and mental ailments in troubled youth.
Another notable study that included 100 mentally ill teens, Hartpury University's Postgraduate Research Project, came to similar conclusions stating, "Teens with severe mental illness, such as bipolar and Schizophrenia, showed a dramatic decrease in the negative effects of their disorder."
These studies are just two of numerous recent studies on EAT conducted over the last decade. While the exact number is not exactly known, there are at least a few dozen published research papers that have come to similarly favorable conclusions about the efficacy of horse-led treatment and its programs.
just two of dozens of the most recent explorations into the subject to be conducted. Similar to these most prominent scientific analyses, the studies that have been conducted, thus far, have proven to be conclusive and overwhelmingly positive.

“See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is.” 1 John 3:1-2
