Abstract in brief

  • The study tested the effectiveness of the Equine Partnering Naturally approach, an equine-assisted therapy, for reducing anxiety and PTSD symptoms in 16 volunteers who experienced traumatic events, with results showing significant reductions in PTSD symptoms, emotional responses, anxiety, depression, and alcohol use.
  • Participants also showed increased mindfulness strategies after the therapy, but there were no significant changes in physical health, coping skills, social support, or overall life satisfaction.
  • The researchers suggest that this therapy might be a promising treatment for anxiety and PTSD, but future studies should involve larger sample sizes, random assignment, and longer-term follow-up to confirm its effectiveness.]
