However, we also need to recognize that it might not be the best/only intervention for everyone.

We know from personal experience how work with horses can help. At Nevada Equine Assisted Therapy children, teens and adults gain confidence while leading, grooming and riding their equine partner (the horse!) They build a relationship based on mutual respect and cooperation as
they move through a variety of experiences. Working one-on-one with a Qualified Mental Health Associate, focused on the client’s specific goals, clients may learn about being a good leader, appropriately using levels of pressure, 
being a good communicator (and listener!) and so much more.
