TADSA Supports Equine Therapy Program in Naracoorte

We, through our ‘My Active Life’ project, recently commenced an Equine-assisted recreation program for the beautiful folks in Moyhall, Naracoorte that actively incorporates horses into the therapeutic process. These participants had a fantastic time engaging in activities such as grooming, feeding, and leading a horse while being supervised by the Elle, instructor of Beyond Words animal assisted counselling. The programs which ran for two weeks each, were free for all participants and we saw an amazing transformation in everyone who attended. Spending quality time with these gorgeous animals helped youngsters and adults develop skills such as emotional regulation, self-confidence, and responsibility while they were happy with the change from being the person receiving care to being the caregiver. We hope to support more communities with these programs again, from early next year!
