SET - Spirit Equine Therapy

What do we provide?

At SET we combine the spirit of the horse and the love of adventure with the heart of the human through equine assisted therapy.

Equine-Assisted Therapy is a therapeutic approach that involves interactions between individuals and horses to address various mental, emotional, and psychological challenges. Specifically, for individuals dealing with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), equine-assisted therapy has shown to be a powerful and effective complementary treatment.

Studies show those who participated in an equine-assisted therapy program had decreased their PTSD score by 67% at 6 weeks and 86% at 12 weeks!

Through this relationship - communication, patience and trust are discovered —all valuable tools to help us succeed with family, work, and social relationships.

Spirit to Spirit

Spirit to spirit

As a mounted patrol person, we will never park enough cars to save one life Never attend enough football games, horse shows, or state fairs to equal one veteran or first responder, looking you in your eyes and saying, "You saved my life." My friends, I pray that someday I possess the ability to describe that feeling to you. I do know this, it can not be bought at WalMart, nor on Amazon. The drug manufacturers can't copy it. I have seen the difference. I have helped Black Dagger Military Hunt Club since and Complete Parachute Solutions for several years.

2 years ago, (2023), it was made crystal clear that we needed to use our craft to help heal the wounds most people can't see. In my experience, there is no better place to learn how to listen than on the back of a horse. A few of you that pay attention to our horses can attest to. You can tell everything you need to know about a person by the relationship they have with their dog and horses. At Spirit Equine therapy, Gracie will show you what unblemished love looks like. She really loves everybody, even people that don't like dogs, love Gracie.

The horses will treat you differently. Depending of which horse it will range from-I love you from Winchester, to-Let's do something mischievous from Chip. After about 20 minutes, the horse will know more about you than google.

We supply the ways, the means, and the therapist.
