About Horsepower For Healing – Punta Gorda
HorsePower for Healing in Punta Gorda, Florida provides unique, non profit equine assisted therapy to people experiencing mental health disorders, addiction, and co-occurring conditions.
They offer a helping hand and hoof for those seeking emotional, physical, and psychological healing. They provide individuals and group counseling and experiential therapies that include bonding with horses and people, self confidence building, and team building exercises.
These horses are more than an addiction treatment tool. They just might prevent someone with a substance use disorder from becoming another statistic.

Many people may go for the more adept horsemanship options, which may provide a new and exciting hobby that bolsters your sense of achievement and inner strength. Others may just appreciate a friendly ear, even if it’s connected to the long, flowing mane of a retired thoroughbred that’s been adopted by caring ranch owners.
One combat veteran said they were revived by the presence of horses and the unique benefits of time spent with them, as well as relieved of the weight of their persistent troubling thoughts. Clients have overwhelmingly positive things to say and celebrate the fact that their organization is expanding.
