Equest Therapeutic Horsemanship
For over 29 years, Equest has delivered the benefits of equine therapy to thousands of North Texas children and adults with varying disabilities and special needs. Equest was the first, and continues to be one of the largest, therapeutic centers in Texas allowing us to provide a variety of equine-assisted programs to over 150 clients weekly. Our mission is to empower, enrich and educate through horses. The physical and emotional accomplishments that our clients achieve are a direct result of the interaction and rhythmic motion that equine therapy provides. Riding a horse moves the body in a manner similar to a human gait, allowing riders with physical needs to realize improvement in muscle tone, strength, flexibility and balance. Additionally, our horse therapy programs allow our riders to achieve cognitive, social and emotional improvements resulting in improved self-esteem, concentration and independence.
