Horses for healing: Has anyone tried equine therapy for PTSD?

I've been reading about different approaches to managing PTSD symptoms and came across something called equine therapy. It sounds fascinating - using horse riding and care as a way to help process trauma and build coping skills. I'm curious if anyone here has tried it or knows someone who has. Was it helpful? What was your experience like? #PTSD #EquineTherapy #MentalHealth

I have a friend who did equine therapy for her PTSD, and she said it was life-changing. She felt more connected to herself and her body, which helped her cope with her PTSD symptoms. The horses' calm and gentle nature seemed to help her feel safe and grounded. #HorseTherapy #StressManagement

I haven't tried equine therapy personally, but I've heard great things about it. It seems like the combination of physical activity and the animals' soothing presence can be very beneficial for people dealing with PTSD. I'd love to hear more about this approach! #MentalHealthAwareness #CopingStrategies
