Farm-Based Services

The Psychotherapy incorporating Equines at Triquestrian primarily uses the Natural Lifemanship model of Trauma-Focused Equine Assisted Psychotherapy.  We also bring in EMDR, Internal Family Systems, DBT, and other specialties as appropriate.  Our work with the horses lands in 2 different realms.  Relationship Logic is the work of building and maintaining relationships with the purpose of healing within those relationships.  Relationship Logic is largely unmounted work, with both human and horse on the ground, and negotiating their shared spaces and interactions.  Rhythmic Riding is another way that we incorporate horses into the healing process.  Rhythmic Riding is mounted work, with the goal of having the client be able to experience the rhythmic, bilateral movement of the horse in their body while also feeling the deep connection the horse is offering as it consents and contributes to carrying the client.  Rhythmic Riding is useful when a client is experiencing a degree of difficulty in getting connected to their own body's sensations and feedback.
