Research in the American Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease & Other Dementias 

This study offered evidence that a non-pharmacological approach, equine-assisted activities program (EAAP), provided safe and largely enjoyable opportunities to long-term care residents with dementia. Furthermore, these opportunities appeared to help residents tap into and use a wide range of their existing capacities, interact intentionally with people and horses, and engage in more complex, multilayered activities than typical in their LTC facility.
