What are Equine Assisted Services?

Equine Assisted Services (EAS) provide a collective term for equine interventions and activities including equine assisted therapy and learning (EAT&L). These are a specialized branch of animal assisted therapy which involves horses and donkeys in a range of treatments and activities in order to support the physical and mental health of humans.

What We Do

With research showing the incredible benefits of EAS for people with physical, mental, emotional and educational challenges, One Equine will endeavor to make this type of treatment widely accessible to the people of Northern Ireland.

Get Involved

As a passionate group of experienced business leaders and volunteers ourselves, we know how rewarding this type of work can be. If you are interested in volunteering, conducting research or having a chat about our services, please get in touch today.
