These skill cards have been designed to assist in the process of learning and development that occurs through equine-assisted psychotherapy practices, or equine-assisted learning sessions.

Horse Sense was inspired to create this full deck of cards after experiencing great success when utilizing some of them with adjudicated youth. Some of the immediate rewards of using these cards are: they provide the treatment team with a clearer understanding of the client’s reading and comprehension abilities; they are helpful for visual learners and can be referenced in the moment in a session; and they create an immediate bridge from the arena to the rest of the client’s life.

To support folks in the use of the cards in telehealth, we recently created a How-To Video on use of the Skill Cards in telehealth and onsite with horses - almost 50 minutes of instructions, recommendations, and insights! The link to the video will be sent to you within 24-48 hours after your purchase.
