What is EQUUSOMA® Horse-Human Trauma Recovery?

This video interview featuring EQUUSOMA® founder, Sarah Schlote, and faculty in training, Ines Kaiser, provides answers to some frequently asked questions about what horse-human trauma recovery involves. Rather than an approach, it is more like a paradigm that can shift how we approach equine behaviour consultation, horse training, horsemanship instruction, clicker training, the Humane Hierarchy, equine-assisted psychotherapy and learning, therapeutic / adaptive riding, equine bodywork, veterinary sciences, veterinary social work, equitation science, animal communication, various equestrian disciplines, and so on.
Beyond behaviourism, EQUUSOMA® is an integrative model that draws from ethology, Somatic Experiencing®, attachment theory, polyvagal theory, social justice, anti-oppressive practice, animal models of trauma recovery, trauma-informed care, interspecies neurobiology, comparative psychology, relational rupture and repair work, touch/boundary repair, and equine science, among other sources.
We offer scholarships for members of the BIPOC community who face disparities due to racism and racialized trauma.
We emphasize trauma renegotiation and transformation at a bodily, nervous system, and relational level, for equines and humans, from the bottom up. Ready to revolutionize the equine industry? Join us!
