Equine Facilitated Practitioner Community of Practice
Equine-facilitated services are rapidly expanding within the mental health field. It is inspiring to witness so many practitioners exploring the therapeutic and relational possibilities of horse-human partnership and the unique opportunities that emerge through authentic connection with horses.
Personally, Dr. Paul has experienced immense professional growth and profound personal support through her community of psychologists. These relationships have been invaluable in her development as a clinician and have helped sustain her through the emotional depth and complexity of therapeutic work.
Equine Presence Institute aspires to cultivate a similar Community of Practice for practitioners engaged in equine-facilitated psychotherapy and others interested in horse-human partnerships.

The Science of EFP: It is not all about neurotransmitters, neural plasticity, and techniques
Because sometimes the most powerful science is the science of relationship.
The goal is to create opportunities for reflection, dialogue, and discovery that support greater congruence between what we believe, what we value, and what we do.
