Equine-Assisted Services (EAS)
Equine-Assisted Therapies of South Florida offers a variety of programs that can be beneficial in a number of ways. A physical, cognitive, or emotional special need does not limit a person from interacting with horses. Research shows that individuals of all ages who participate in EAS can experience cognitive, physical and emotional rewards.

Enrollment Information
Enrollment into the EATSF program takes place throughout the calendar year, and potential participants are pulled from the EATSF Waiting List to begin the enrollment process.
Once a participant is enrolled in the EATSF program, everyone becomes part of the “barn family.” Enrollment occurs annually and a new Program Application, including Medical History is required for every participant with a $25.00 processing fee.
The EATSF Program Team develops lesson plans for each lesson, and tracks participant progress through corresponding progress notes that follow the participant throughout their time in the EATSF program.
Returning Participants
You already know the drill! A new Program Application, with Medical History is required annually as well as the $25.00 processing fee. Requests for schedule changes must be made at least 5 weeks prior to the start of a session.
Financial Assistance
EATSF believes that everyone should have access to our programs. Cost should not be a barrier to participation. Throughout the year, EATSF solicits support from individuals, businesses and foundations to provide scholarships for families in need.
Once accepted into the program, an application for scholarship may be requested. Scholarship funds are limited, and award amounts vary.
EATSF does not accept insurance and does not perform third-party medical billing.
Financial assistance is offered for all programs, except for Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy.
