Horses Heal
The healing power of horses
Horses are extraordinary therapeutic partners. Their heart's electromagnetic field - five times more powerful than that of humans - creates a calming influence that extends up to nine meters, positively impacting emotional and physiological states.
As flight animals, horses are highly attuned to emotions, mirroring and responding to the energy and feelings of those around them.
