Animal encounters can improve mental health by triggering healthy chemical responses in the brain. In an age that is increasingly focused on wellness, natural remedies for modern stress are often the most sustainable and enjoyable. Horse therapy falls into that category.

As support animals go, equines are on the larger side, and probably not as welcome in your local grocery store as support dogs are. In the right setting, and coupled with other practices, however, horse therapy can be a powerful and very unique way to improve your mental health.
