                  Welcome to Healing Through Horses

An Equine Assisted Mental Health Program that has been experiencing incredible results
with the clients who have availed themselves of this wonderful opportunity for change, growth,
healing and an adjustment of perspective.  Discover your potential, live your dream.

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, she knew in her
heart, horses and people would always play a big part in her life.  It was not until she left the
east coast to find her "niche" out west that she discovered how she could create her life long
dream.  With the help of Wayne Brewster, her husband and Equine Specialist, Healing Through
Horses was created. We hope you enjoy your visit here as much as we have enjoyed creating
our first website.  Happy Trails.........


                          What is Equine Assisted Mental Health?

Equine Assisted Mental Health refers to utilizing the horse as a partner during a
therapy session. Equine Assisted Mental Health 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 Mental Health
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 Mental Health 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 Mental Health:

  • 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

All of our Equine Assisted Mental Health activities help engage the
                        person's mind, body and spirit.
