The horse's reactions mirror the participants inner state such as restlessness in response to anxiety in the person, offering immediate non-judgemental feedback.
Horses' non-verbal communication helps individuals process emotions without feeling pressured to verbalize painful or frightening experiences.
Engaging with horses builds self-confidence and trust. Horses require clear communication and consistency which encourages individuals to take responsibility for their actions and develop trust in themselves and others.
We have found at Unbridled Acres that one hour of equine therapy equals 7-10 hours of traditional talk therapy. That is powerful!!

Equine Therapy Testimonials
When I'm at Unbridled Acres, I have no fears and no anxiety. I finally found the peace and calm I had been searching for. I highly recommend Unbridled Acres as when I leave there I feel like a new person.
Our experience with equine therapy through Unbridled Acres, and especially with Sue, has been nothing short of life-changing for myself and my family. From the very beginning, Sue created a space that truly felt safe, welcoming, and compassionate.
Sue has an incredible gift for connecting people with horses in a way that fosters healing, confidence, and emotional growth. Through her guidance, we’ve seen meaningful progress, greater self-awareness, improved emotional regulation, and a sense of peace and purpose that carries beyond each session.
