WT Equestrian LLC/Southwest Horse Power, Inc. is offering group workshops and training for facilities, referring agencies and corporations. The Equine Integrated Learning program is part of the Equine Integrated Therapy program but focuses on learning. In the learning sessions the participants work on communication, leadership, teamwork and problem solving skills. Our model is Solution Focused. This is a model that believes all clients/participants can discover the best solutions for themselves when given the opportunity. Solution focused sessions allow the client/participant to explore, problem-solve, overcome challenges and discover their own solutions.
Often times we only need to be in a horse’s presence to feel a sense of wellness and peace. In fact research shows that people experience many physiological benefits from interacting with horses including lower blood pressure and heart rates, increased levels of beta endorphins (neurotransmitters) that serve as pain suppressors, decreased stress levels, reduced feelings of anger, hostility, tension and anxiety. Social functioning is improved and there are increased feelings of empowerment, trust, patience and self-efficacy.
