About Horse Therapy Finder
The unified directory for equine therapy and equine-facilitated learning — built to bridge the gap between clients seeking healing and practitioners offering it.
Our Mission
The equine-assisted services field is rich, diverse, and growing — but it is also fragmented. Each certification body maintains its own siloed directory. Each organization has its own language, its own approach, its own community. For a client trying to find the right provider, or a practitioner trying to understand the landscape, this fragmentation creates real barriers.
Horse Therapy Finder exists to change that. We are building the first unified, field-wide directory that spans all major approaches — from EAGALA to the HERD Institute, from Natural Lifemanship to PATH International, from corporate EAL to hippotherapy.
We serve two audiences: clients and families seeking equine-assisted services, and practitioners and educators seeking community, training, and visibility.
"True healing occurs through the power of relationships — and horses have been teaching us that for centuries."
— The Horse Therapy Finder Team
Our Values
Client-Centered
We exist to help clients and families navigate a complex field and find the right care — not to promote any single organization or approach.
Ethical Practice
We are committed to horse welfare, ethical practitioner conduct, and accurate representation of credentials and scope of practice.
Inclusive Community
We believe equine-assisted services should be accessible to all — and we actively seek to represent diverse practitioners and underserved populations.
Field-Wide
We are not affiliated with any single certification body. Our directory spans all major approaches, from EAGALA to HERD Institute to Natural Lifemanship.
Ethics & Horse Welfare
Horses are not tools. They are sentient beings with their own needs, preferences, and histories. We believe that ethical equine-assisted practice begins with a deep commitment to horse welfare — and we encourage all clients to ask providers about their approach to equine care.
Questions worth asking any provider include: How are the horses cared for between sessions? Do horses have the ability to opt out of interactions? How are horses selected for this work? What is the herd's living situation?
Disclaimer: Horse Therapy Finder is an informational directory. We do not independently verify credentials, certifications, or horse welfare practices. We strongly encourage clients to conduct their own due diligence before engaging any provider. Always verify that mental health professionals hold valid licenses in your state.
