SARATOGA SPRINGS — Therapeutic Horses of Saratoga is a Saratoga Springs-based nonprofit organization whose mission is to rescue and retrain retired racehorses for partnership in therapeutic programs.
Therapeutic Horses of Saratoga takes in both Thoroughbred and Standardbred retired racehorses who are less than physically able and may be in more need of a home than a horse who can be ridden after racing.
Why racehorses? Racehorses have incredible work ethic from their life on the track. Therapeutic Horses of Saratoga finds that retired racehorses want to continue to work and keep their minds busy. They are naturally intuitive and nonjudgmental beings who can teach humans so much about forgiveness, patience, and communication.
Therapeutic Horses of Saratoga partners with ECS Psychological Services to provide licensed equine-assisted therapy. Therapeutic Horses of Saratoga provides the therapeutically trained horses and certified Equine Specialists. Clients can enjoy the peaceful nature of horses while learning from their intuitive natures and responsiveness to energy. Horses teach humans to look inward and evaluate how we really feel and how they portray that to the world.
Equine-assisted therapy sessions can be anything from simply spending time in the horses’ space, getting to know them and gaining comfort and relaxation, to challenging the client to different activities that help bring out their current issues and address them in a new light. Equine-assisted therapy is a highly successful alternative to traditional talk therapy and allows clients to find metaphors and solutions for their personal life goals.
Therapeutic Horses of Saratoga serves kids, teens, adults, veterans, victims of domestic violence, individuals with PTSD, anxiety, depression, and more.
An additional service that Therapeutic Horses of Saratoga provides is a recreational service called Horseplay. Horseplay’s are sessions that anyone in the public can participate in. Enjoy the peace and quiet nature of horses by spending time in their herd. Get to know the therapy horses, learn to groom and care for them, and get the best kind of fresh air and rejuvenation!
