The field of Equine Assisted Services (EAS) for human health, education and wellbeing is wide, varied, and rapidly growing. Interventions involving horses are used to address a variety of issues and suggested as an alternative option for youth in need of support, who for different reasons do not or cannot benefit from traditional therapeutic or educational contexts or settings. Research thus far has mainly investigated outcomes while systematic knowledge about processes and characteristics of these interventions is still lacking. 

At the Tinnis Trust, our approach to horse welfare and equine assisted services is science-led. We believe that high-quality research and innovative approaches increase the credibility and sustainability of our field. Our recent studies, resources and reports can be found below.
