​Horses have a unique ability at reading humans. They are incredibly sensitive animals. Horses are so much like mirrors that we utilize them to help children acknowledge and change the way they relate. If a child reacts fearfully to others,
the horse relates fearfully. If the child acts with malice, the horse will not come near. If the child moves with love and confidence, the horse comes near. Special bonds are established between horses and the children who love them. These sensitive bonds help the child heal and learn better ways to relate to others in their lives.
