As he learned to groom, saddle, and ride the horse, his communication skills improved.

There's a story of a teenager with behavioral issues. Equine therapy transformed him. He learned discipline from taking care of the horse, feeding it at the right times, cleaning the stable. This new - found discipline also carried over to his school life, and his grades improved. The horse became his motivation to be better.

There is a story of a stroke patient. After the stroke, he had limited mobility on one side of his body. In equine assisted therapy, he would hold onto the horse while it walked. The gentle movement of the horse forced his body to adapt and regain some lost muscle function. It was inspiring to see him gradually regain more movement and independence.

One notable case was a teen suffering from depression. Equine therapy made a huge difference. Just being around the horses and having the responsibility of feeding them gave her a routine. Over time, she started to form an emotional connection with a particular horse. This connection and the newfound purpose in her day - to - day activities helped lift her out of her depressive state.

Sure. One success story is about a person with a fear of flying. Through exposure therapy, they started by looking at pictures of airplanes, then visiting an airport, and finally taking short flights.
