All of these facts plus more led to one conclusion: equine-human relationships can be therapeutic. The participants in this study recovered significantly with help from their equine counter-parts. The horses gave the equestrians a purpose; a reason to get up each day. However, while this research was a success, Yorke, Adams, and Coady remark, “riding is not for everyone.” Still, equine therapy is a promising option for a wide range of…
I entered the barn and began speaking to each horse and calling them by name. I was here for a special horse that had captured by tough heart. As I approached the bay colored, long legged gelding with a white diamond straight down his face my heart began to beat loudly. His name is Wolfe and I believe he heard my heart as he instantly began to nod frantically up and down.…

The horse, an elegant creature, dancing across fields, meant to be free; the horror going on behind the curtain defiles his spirit of freedom. He is viewed by many as a loyal companion. In sporting events, he represents half of the team, the momentous force that propels the duo to victory. He shares the pain and tears, the struggles and triumphs, with his human counterpart. As a gentle friend, he teaches fearful adults how to trust again; reinvigorates the hopeless with the drive to live; and provides disabled children with a comforting way to become reacquainted with the world. The common denominator derived from the roles played by the majestic equine is the intimate bond shared by horse and rider. This bond can be compared to that between a dog and his owner, one that is as inseparable as mother and daughter. However, a fiery issue has come to light, one that has the equestrian world hopelessly divided. It concerns the controversial matter of horse slaughter in the United States of America. The plight of the unwanted horse is complicated and to some the idea of getting rid of the financial burden and getting paid for it seems like a godsend. However, horse slaughter is a cruel practice. To put it simply, horses are not raised to be slaughtered in the same manner that cows and pigs are; the emotional and physical trauma involved for the horse is too big a price to pay as well as being generally illegal; and there are countless alternatives to inhumane slaughter.…

Equine-assisted therapy encompasses a range of treatments that involve activities with horses and other equines to promote human physical and mental health. A lack of high-quality studies, particularly assessing the efficacy of EAT for mental health treatment, has raised concerns that these therapies should not replace or divert resources from other evidence-based therapies. Terminology within the field is not standardized, and the lack of clear definitions and common terminology presents problems in reviewing medical literature. Within that framework, the more common therapies and terminology used to describe them are: Therapeutic horseback riding uses a therapeutic team, usually including a certified therapeutic riding instructor, two or…
