Tuskegee Horse Therapy Program
Horses are highly responsive, relational animals. In equine-assisted services, that responsiveness becomes a powerful way to practice skills like:
-
healthy boundaries and safe communication
-
emotional regulation and body awareness
-
confidence through achievable, step-by-step goals
-
trust-building in a structured environment
Our program includes [ground-based sessions / adaptive horsemanship / therapy services delivered by licensed professionals—select what applies]. We follow clear safety practices and match each participant to appropriate activities.
