Green Acres Therapy Horses mission is to provide mobile enrichment visits, equine assisted activities, education and entertainment services to children and adults of all ages and abilities. Research has shown that equine experiences have positive cognitive, emotional, spiritual and physical benefits. We use our own trained miniature horses, to bring happiness, hope, and feelings of wellbeing to adults and children of all ages, stages, abilities and diverse needs.
Research and scientific findings by The HeartMath Institute and Dr. Anna Baldwin Ph.D and Professor Ellen Gehrke Ph.D. explain their research and findings that “ The emotions we experience directly affect our heart rhythm pattern-and this, in turn, tells us much about how our body is functioning.” Disclaimer, this is not our research and we are not claiming to be doctors or therapists. We are Equine Facilitated Wellness (EFL) Practitioners that have experienced lifelong benefits of horses. We honour our horses as “therapists” not ourselves. This is why we called our business Green Acres Therapy Horses, to honour and validate the important wellness benefits our therapy horses provide. Therapeutic benefits occur in a variety of ways, by sitting beside horses, looking at them from a distance, in individual sessions, group sessions, or bringing them to your pony party or event. The truth is, just simple experiences with horses, in any capacity provides profound overall physical and emotional wellness benefits. We can‘t stress enough, the magic occurs just by being with them, in their presence. Horses leave us emotionally and physically better than when they first encounter us. If you feel something magical and powerful happening internally, but you can’t explain it? Then you‘ve already experienced the the Theraputic benefit horses experiences provide.
