Can horses help children heal from trauma?

  • On June 24, the Rotary Club of Singapore partnered with Equal-Ark to launch a virtual reality equine-assisted learning program for children with trauma.
  • This initiative came amid rising childhood mental health issues and aims to prepare children for real horse interactions that can be intimidating or triggering.
  • The program, called "At Home with Horses," allows children to virtually touch and hear a horse’s heartbeat under a trainer's guidance before physical contact.
  • Mr. Low Kee Hong stated, "The horse's calmness is a calmness to the child," highlighting that calming effects on traumatized children initiate restoration.
  • Researchers urge professional bodies to establish clearer guidelines and funding to expand equine-assisted therapy's accessible and ethical use for vulnerable youth.
