Narrative

Trot On provides equine therapy services to children, adolescents and their families.  We serve clients who struggle with social, emotional and behavioral challenges, and who have complex trauma histories.  Equine therapy provides a unique experience of embodiment and connection with another living creature.  In understanding how trauma impacts neurodevelopment, it is essential to provide therapeutic interventions that promote the mind-body connection.   Trot On employs the EFT-CT model (equine facilitated therapy for complex trauma).  This model promotes skill development in areas impacted by complex trauma, including emotion regulation, social functioning, executive functioning, and self-identity development.  EFT-CT also promotes a sense of relational safety, empowerment and trust.
