Tulsa Girls’ Home
Equine Care
85% of horse owners will dump their horses within 5 years. Tulsa Girls’ Home partners with different rescue organizations to give horses a safe place to live - at Tulsa Girls’ Home. In return, the horses provide a shameless, consistent, and loving therapeutic experience to our girls who care for and build a deep bond with the horse(s) at Tulsa Girls’ Home.
The experiences, emotional expressions, and problem-solving skills that the girls demonstrate during equine therapy are the genuine reasons for equine therapy! There is nothing more special than seeing a girl overcome trauma and learn how to understand and process her feelings. Horses sense and respond to people’s emotions. Even if someone is not aware of what she is feeling, a horse will be able to sense it.
Often, when a resident is involved in the care of a horse they come to understand themselves better - and the horse finds its healing too.
