What is EFP?
Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy (EFP) is an experiential form of therapy. It is an interactive process that includes a licensed therapist, a horse specialist, therapy horse, and the client. This form of therapy is so successful because horses are extremely sensitive and react to changes in the clients emotional state by responding in certain ways that clue in the therapist to mood changes, anxiety, and many other emotions which in turn creates skill building opportunities for the client.
