Equine Assisted Therapy Alaska

Hippotherapy at Equine Assisted Therapy Alaska uses the horse's qualities in intensive one-on-one sessions with a licensed therapist. The Anchorage nonprofit also offers equine-assisted psychotherapy, where horses support emotional growth and learning, along with therapeutic horseback riding programs. Its classes and activities serve children and adults living with physical, emotional, and cognitive disabilities. Participants may have conditions including cerebral palsy, autism, post-traumatic stress, ADHD, and traumatic brain injury. Programs take place at the William Clark Chamberlin Equestrian Center in Ruth Arcand Park. Equine Assisted Therapy Alaska is a member of PATH International and uses horsemanship to support physical, psychological, and social well-being. The organization also relies on volunteers to help run its programs.
