Introduction to Equine Assisted Activity & Therapies (EAAT)
A Blended Course - Online & Clinic Hours
Equine Assisted Activity & Therapies (EAAT) is an umbrella term for all of the range of programs derived from working with horses and those with disabilities (NARHA, 2009). Being on and around horses has been considered therapeutic throughout history, but through the efforts of many determined individuals, EAAT has recently come into its own. EAAT is now a well-respected field with a variety of professionals who all use horses to help improve the lives of people with disabilities.
