What We Do
Since 1999, Animals as Natural Therapy (ANT) has offered animal-guided mental & behavioral health programs for youth, veterans, families, & elders. Our work is based on the knowledge that animals can teach important life skills such as respect for self & others, healthy boundaries, self-management, empathy, and clear communication.
Our Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) programs utilize techniques from PATH (Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship) and EAGALA (Equine Assisted Growth & Learning) models, while our Equine Assisted Therapy (EAT) program integrates clinical mental health treatment with horsemanship to uniquely address a variety of participant needs, including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and PTSD.
Animals as Natural Therapy is a PATH International Premier Accredited Center, ensuring adherence to the highest industry standards for equine-assisted services and therapies. Participants and their families can be sure that ANT prioritizes the safety of participants, volunteers and equines, and provides quality equine-assisted activities and therapies.
