Why use horses for therapy?

Horses are herd animals and they are prey animals. This means they like to be around other horses and they have to depend on one another for their safety and survival. Horses are big and powerful, but they are dependent on others for safety. Therefore, horses are willing to work together for the good of all. This need to work together makes horses great for therapy purposes. They have proven to be soothing, gentle animals. They are honest in their interactions. Their survival depends on straightforward relationships without the desire or need for lying or manipulating. They do not judge or blame. Horses have to depend upon one another and are thus not only trusting but completely trustworthy. Their presence alone can be immensely healing, creating loyal bonds between them and humans for many years. This kind of trust and loyalty becomes a big part of the healing process.
