Sometimes it’s hard to say goodbye!! After 6 years, Scoob and his beautiful owner Steph, due to health reasons, have had to move a bit closer to home. Beautiful Scoobs has always been such a joy!! Making us laugh, always ready for a pat and a carrot. Often horses reflect their owners and Steph and her trainer Georgia, two amazing women that were always kind, easy going and just a big part of our Adonai Culture!! Thankyou Steph and Scoobs for always bringing joy into not only my life but also to our clients!! We will miss you and thankyou from all of us!!

Equine and Animal Assisted Therapy helping cancer patients and their families!!

Hospital treatment can be emotionally and physically overwhelming for children and their caregivers.
Research published in PLOS ONE found that children receiving animal-assisted therapy during outpatient cancer treatment experienced:

💙 Reduced pain
💙 Less stress
💙 Reduced irritation
💙 Improvements in depressive symptoms

The benefits extended beyond the child.
Caregivers also reported reductions in:

• Anxiety
• Mental confusion
• Emotional tension

These findings remind us that healing occurs within relationships, and supporting families is an important part of compassionate healthcare.

At the Equine & Animal Psychotherapy Institute, we advocate for evidence-informed, ethical and welfare-focused approaches that benefit both humans and animals.
