Stable Way is an Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) Facility, and full service riding stable. Enhance your therapy program with EAP! Bring you clients to our new facility to provide a powerful, effective, interesting and fun therapeutic alternative.

What is EAP?

Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) is an emerging field in which horses are used as a tool for emotional growth and learning. EAP is a collaborative effort between a licensed therapist and an equine professional. Because of its intensity and effectiveness, EAP is considered a short-term, or "brief" approach.

Who Benefits?

The treatment is experiential in nature - clients learn about themselves and others by completing tasks involving horses, then processing feelings, behaviors, and patterns.

It addresses a variety of mental health and human development needs including:

• Behavioral issues
• Attention Deficit Disorder
• Substance Abuse
• Depression and Anxiety
• Grief and Loss
• Eating Disorders
• Relationship Problems
• Communication Issues

The Facility

Stable Way is located in Britton, MI and set in a quiet country atmosphere southwest of Ann Arbor.

Twelve horses comprise the therapy horse herd. Four ponies, six miniature horses, and two full size Morgan horses. There is a 50X60 indoor arena, as well as a 75X110 outdoor arena.

Two EAGALA certified equine specialists are staffed at the facility.

Riding Lessons

We offer lessons in Hunt, Western, Saddle Seat, Showmanship and Driving. We also travel within 20 miles of Britton, for lessons with your own horse.
