About Us
Equine Assisted Psychotherapy…. Where Horses Make The Difference!
About Us
Idaho Horse Therapy is a non-profit corporation located in rural Southern Idaho. We use about forty head of horses, from yearlings to saddle-horses, all of which have proven to be very effective clinicians. We feel blessed to do most of our work in our desert setting, where there are few distractions for clients and the focus stays on the horses and what is truly happening.
Idaho Horse Therapy utilizes several indoor facilities throughout the Magic Valley where sessions can be conducted in inclement weather. The founders of IHT have over 40 years of experience in equine activities and a major passion for helping others. The combination of the love of horses and the desire to bring the equine experience to others makes for the perfect business.
Idaho Horse Therapy is a registered Central Contractor and an EAGALA Military Services Program.

To provide evidence-based Equine Assisted Psychotherapy to any population that can benefit from our services, and, in so doing, effect change in the world at large by increasing the number of emotionally stable, solution-based thinkers who have resources to problem solve when possible and cope graciously when necessary.
"After my husband's first session, I saw dramatic changes. My husband is dealing with his PTSD better than I could have ever hoped for. He is more active, more happy, sleeps better, engages the kids more often and more positively. This program has given us the light at the end of the tunnel."

"He knows.."
He knows when you're happy ~ He knows when you're comfortable ~ He knows when you're confident ~ And he always knows when you have carrots.
