Why Horses

Research suggests significant benefits from simply being in the presence of a horse, including improving heart rate variability, relaxation, and emotional responding and regulation. The benefit from being in the presence of a horse does not even require physical interaction, as horses regularly communicate with each other and with humans at a distance. The physical proximity of a horse demonstrates a stress-moderating effect on those who are not fearful of horses, with an increased cumulative effect for some.
