What is Equine Therapy?
Our equestrian services are just some of the many services that make Fresh Start Life Solutions unique. We expand upon the typical model of what one thinks of when they think of “equine therapy”. Like many, we have found that horses are naturally therapeutic, providing people with a unique connection to nature. By including the horses in our sessions, we are able to simulate many of the struggles you may be feeling in your everyday life, helping you to work through them in an experiential setting. You will enjoy learning how to work with or ride horses with an Equestrian Specialist, alongside one of our therapists, who will structure each session based on your personalized goals and therapy plan.

Where do we practice Equine Therapy?
Located in a true country oasis, this is experiential therapy on a new level. When you visit our office and stables at Myrland Stables in Davie, you will find that it is a true escape from the South Florida lifestyle you know. The spanning horse farm is located on 35 acres, and is tucked away and isolated from heavy traffic, making it easy to forget that you are only minutes away from the highway. Our space is comfortable and private, so you can experience a mini getaway from the hustle and bustle of your daily life.
Who is Equine Therapy for?
Everyone! Our patients range from individual children and adults, to couples, families, groups, and corporations. Whether you are an accomplished rider, or have never seen a horse in real life, equine therapy may be just what you have been missing.
Pandora loves to make new friends!
