Hope's Chariot is a 501c3 non-profit organization which utilizes equine assisted psychotherapy (EAP), equine assisted learning (EAL), and therapeutic riding to promote emotional, social, and physical growth. Equine assisted therapies can help individuals build confidence, communication skills, social skills, resilience, trust, perspective, impulse control, emotional regulation, and boundaries. Equine therapy uses a team approach where connections built with the horse(s) will be the main focus followed by the support of the Mental Health Therapist (MH) and Equine Specialist (ES). All EAP and EAL sessions are ground based and do not involve riding.
