Equine-Assisted Therapy

THS partners with ECS Psychological Services, PC, and other local clinicians to provide Equine-Assisted Therapy. Individual, family, couples, and veteran’s services are available. For more information, contact intake@ecsps.com or 518-290-6240 extension 1.

All clients must be enrolled with ECS Psychological Services to register. To schedule with a therapist, contact ECS Psychological Services at 518-580-0520.

Equine-Assisted Therapy creates a partnership between a licensed mental health professional (MHP) and a certified equine specialist (ES). MHPs bring their expertise to create an emotionally safe and proactive mental health environment. At the same time, Equine Specialists ensure horse safety and provide insight into equine body language to help enhance the mental wellness experience.

The Freedom Rein Project

Military & Veteran Services

The Freedom Rein Project is a Military Equine Therapy program that provides service members an opportunity to explore challenges and achieve goals in a therapeutic environment un-restricted by office walls and fully emersed in working with horses who are keen observers and gentle guides. This type of care is not covered by insurance, and the cost has been a barrier in the past for many service members who are struggling with PTSD, lack of connection in civilian life, communication issues, regaining trust, and the list goes on. We are the recipients of the VA Adaptive Sports Grant this year, which means, for the first time, we are offering FREE Equine Therapy to any VA veterans and service members! We are very passionate about the Military community and are so pleased to have the opportunity to provide this program to aid service members right here in our backyard.

For more information or to get started, please email us or call 518-580-0520 ext. 1.

Meet our horseplay horses! We never know who will be ready to play, so horses are assigned on the day of the event.
