Equine therapy is known for its unique benefits, which include:

- Building Trust: Working with horses requires trust and clear communication, which can translate into improved interpersonal relationships and self-confidence.
- Reduced Anxiety: The calm presence of horses and the serene environment of equine therapy sessions can help reduce anxiety and promote relaxation.
