Project Thinking Horse

Horses have been unwittingly healing and looking after our mental and physical well-being since 400bc maybe earlier. It’s been proven riding horses helps both our physical and mental well-being and has recently become a more popular form of therapy especially for returning veterans, children, and young adults.

This short documentary film explores the concept of horses as an aid to improve people people’s mental wellbeing. We will draw comparisons between the mental health benefits of nature and horses to give people a better understanding of the effect and explore why horses have a similar sort of calming quality to blue and green spaces.
