What We Do
For more than 30 years, EEMV has been helping those with disabilities by providing them with one of the greatest tools ever......the horse.
The benefits of equine assisted services (EAS) are as numerous as the types of disabilities and conditions served.
Research shows that people who participate in equine assisted services experience physical, emotional and cognitive rewards.
The three-dimensional, rhythmical motion of the horse's movement stimulates the muscles of the participant, thus providing great therapeutic effects for those with physical disabilities. For individuals with cognitive or emotional disabilities, the unique relationship formed with the horse can lead to increased confidence, patience and self-esteem.
Each new skill learned creates new pathways in the brain and facilitates attention and learning.
