Equine Therapy at Passages Malibu
Equine therapy offers a powerful, hands-on way to build trust, emotional awareness, and healthy boundaries — often revealing patterns that are hard to access through talk therapy alone. With guidance from trained professionals, clients learn to regulate stress, communicate more clearly, and develop confidence through meaningful connection and gentle, structured work with horses.
Equine Therapy at Passages Malibu
Passages Equine Therapy is a solution-focused, experiential therapy experience. Run in conjunction with
Reins of Hope, Equine Therapy at Passages is facilitated by EAGALA certified Equine Assisted Growth and
Learning specialists. Clients have unique interactions with horses who have been doing work with individual
clients and groups for years, and are wonderful with people.
Equine Therapy is not about horsemanship, it is about relationship. It is a solution-focused therapy method
where clients partner with horses and work together through challenges in the client’s recovery. Horses
have been on the earth 55 million years as pack and prey animals. As prey animals their number one job is
staying safe, so they have highly developed a present moment awareness, a strong orientation towards
connection and authenticity, and sophisticated set of communication skills. Horses are uniquely helpful in
guiding clients to a place of authenticity and finding new ways to succeed in their path towards sobriety.
