Therapy for Black Girls

Session 373: Equine Therapy

After listening to Cowboy Carter far too much over this summer and hearing Beyoncé tell us to “look at that horse, look at that horse, look at that horse,” it was only right to then find out about equine-assisted psychotherapy, a form of therapy that incorporates a live horse in session with a client.

To learn more about this unique type of therapy, I’m joined this week by 2nd year MSW candidate, Jasmine Morris. Jasmine works at Ebony Horsewomen Equestrian and Therapeutic Center in Hartford, Connecticut, where she serves as an Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy clinician. During our conversation we explore what a session of equine-assisted psychotherapy looks like, the potential benefits one could reap through this form of therapy, and how interacting with horses can help us build on our coping and emotional skills.
