Horses Healing Humans
with equine assisted therapy
We are an outpatient rehabilitation facility using equine assisted therapy and the natural movement and demeanor of a horse to help with physical, emotional, and mental challenges.
Northern Michigan Equine THerapy
Northern Michigan Equine Therapy is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to equine assisted therapy using the healing nature of a horse as a therapeutic tool to enhance independence, self-confidence, and quality of life. With a horse’s guidance and support, our hippotherapy, Horse Sense, at-risk youth and Veterans programs are offered by licensed professionals and equine specialists to provide the community with the best quality of service to those in need.
Horses Healing Humans In Many Ways
Conquering goals is important to Northern Michigan Equine Therapy and we’ve seen many overcome over the years. Our first bright star was a young lady who made great strides overcoming a neurological disorder where changes in textures were intolerable. On her first session of hippotherapy (equine assisted therapy) she ran from the concrete aisle way onto grass without concern. Then there is Zander. This rock star has Pitt Hopkins Syndrome and was told he would never walk. After his fifth session Zander walked from “Adele” (therapy horse) to his mother’s waiting arms for the first time (not a dry eye in the place). It was his fifth birthday too.
