Horse equine therapy, also known as equine-assisted therapy (EAT), is a therapeutic practice that involves interactions between patients and horses to promote emotional, mental, and physical well-being. This form of therapy is often used to help individuals with various conditions such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, autism, and physical disabilities. Austin-based Kristine Palmer co-founded Horse and Bow, where she combines horses, archery and mindfulness for team building and leadership development and facilitates equine assisted learning.

Therapeutic activities with horses can include riding, grooming, and caring for horses, which help individuals develop skills like communication, trust, self-confidence, and emotional regulation. Listen for success stories of those Kristine has worked with and who knows? You may want to bring your team to work with Kristine and her beautiful horses!
