EquATA horse assisted therapy:

• assists with the treatment of behavioural disorders
• promotes self-esteem, independence and self confidence
• improves observation skills, co-ordination and communication
• encourages nurturing traits and so helps reduce anti-social behaviour
• promotes a sense of responsibility and empathy with others, encouraging team-work

At EquATA, our aim is to provide a safe place within beautiful surroundings for people to learn every day life skills they can then use in the outside the world. We do this in a number of ways:

• for those on the autistic spectrum, we use a method called Horsing Around,

• for those with diverse issues, we use a ground based therapy, Equine Assisted Learning
