Healing Through Horses
The Equine Connection Coaching Services Ltd. facilitates the equine-assisted therapy program 'Healing Through Horses', which is administered by the Archway Society for Domestic Peace.
​
The goal of 'Healing Through Horses' is to generate funds for those in need of effective counselling support, and whose therapy of choice is equine-assisted therapy. Subsidized counselling is offered to women with limited financial resources. Presently, the focus of our program is on trauma recovery for women affected by domestic violence situations.

"I learned from Trixie (the pony) that it's OK to feel Joy and Happiness after Trauma." Participant
"After classes I feel much more calmer throughout my day. I'm able to think clearer. During the meditation I'm able to cry out all my anger or sadness of the week, and let it all wash away." Participant
We offer four equine-assisted trauma recovery therapy groups for women a year. Two groups in the spring and two in the fall. Each group meets for two hours a week for ten weeks.
