Safety is important at EAYP—emotional and psychological as well as physical safety.

Safety, however, comes not only from our therapists and equine specialists carefully supervising each session, but through children developing their own life skills. (Many children don't feel safe in life and need to learn behavioral skills to use outside the arena.) 

Because horses first and foremost want to feel safe themselves, part of working with them is coming to recognize how they act to keep safe and to learn from that.
