Equine Stress Control Therapy

   

A remarkable approach to help your flighty, worried horse be calm and settled, from the inside out. Equine Stress Control Therapy is based on human treatments for anxiety, trauma, stress and phobias. 

Learn how to heal horses’ traumas.  Workshops and individual sessions available to teach you how to apply ESCT with your horse's "issues".

Find out more information.

Horse Person/ality Assessment People and their horses are in a relationship just as surely as couples are. People and horses have personality traits, history/experiences, and training/knowledge which affect their relationship. Horse Person/ality Assessment, developed by Peggy Martin, uses personality psychology adapted for horses to evaluate the "match" of you and your horse or a prospective horse.

Through the Eye of a Horse    Pegasus Center and Discovering Equus offer retreats, workshops, sessions for individuals, families, groups, and organizations.  The horse is a way to connect to yourself and each other.  The horse is a mirror to your soul.   Find out more information.
