This Clinic is for people with little or no horse experience.
There is no riding.
Tim Hayes’ Equine Therapy Clinic is designed to learn and experience first-hand exactly how and why horses are able to heal the emotional wounds of myriad populations including Veterans with PTSD, At-Risk Youth, Children with Autism, Divorce, Childhood Traumas, Addiction, anyone interested in Horses, Humans & Healing and why Equine Therapy has become one of the most effective cutting edge methods in today’s mental health recovery programs.
It is by interacting with their horse that Participants will both learn, execute and experience the 10 below listed topics of the Equine Therapy Clinic Program, what it feels like to be an Equine Therapy Client, and gain significant new awareness about themselves in the process. In order to establish their relationship with a horse, Clinic Participants will be asked to perform simple basic equine ground skills most often referred to as “Groundwork.” Each participant will have a haltered horse on the ground with a lead rope. They will be asked to interact with their horse including asking the horse to walk, back up, turn and stop, to name a few.

Tim’s Equine Therapy Clinic Program is based on RIDING HOME-The Power of Horses to Heal - by Tim Hayes
RIDING HOME – The Power of Horses to Heal, Foreword by Robert Redford ~ ST. MARTIN'S PRESS 2020 is my book about horses, humans and healing. It was written for Equine Therapy Organizations, Horse Lovers, Non~Horse Lovers, as well as Equine Therapists and Mental Health Professionals. I wrote the book to help people and organizations raise the awareness of Equine Therapy and the effectiveness of its healing. I also hope it will help to advocate for the increase of both public and governmental financial support for all Equine Therapeutic Organizations.
From the Foreword by ROBERT REDFORD:
“Tim Hayes [is] a great storyteller blessed with passion for his subjects, horse and human. The lessons you’ll take away from this beautiful volume of healing and love between man and nature will stay with you for a long time. Tim Hayes has made this his life work and the world is a better place for It.”
