Healing Through Horses was envisioned by Judy Schneider as a Boston University
graduate student over 20 years ago. While she was studying to become a social worker,

What is Equine Assisted Counseling?
Equine Assisted Counseling refers to utilizing the horse as a partner during a therapy
session. Equine Assisted Counseling is a collaborative effort between a licensed
therapist and a horse professional. Because of the intensity and effectiveness, it is
considered to be a short term or brief approach. Equine Assisted Counseling is
nationally recognized as an efficient form of therapy for individuals, families, couples and
groups. This modality can be the sole source of treatment as well as being a powerful
adjunct with other forms of therapy.
Equine Assisted Counseling addresses a variety of mental health and
human development needs including but not limited to:
- behavioral issues
- attention deficit disorder
- substance abuse
- depression
- anxiety
- relationship problems
- victimization
- aggression
- trauma
- family conflict
Equine Assisted Counseling:
- is experiential in nature
- does not require any horse experience or knowledge
- allows a person to gain insight into behaviors that are not internalized until they
are practiced or experienced and helps in the development of new coping skills
