HorsePlay activities provide couples with a new and novel way to explore their relational roles, patterns of behavior and comminucation styles. Participants' reactions to the horses and the horses' reactions to participants can help to visually demonstrate these dynamics. HorsePlay sessions create opportunities for couples to learn to work in sync together to overcome obstacles and challenges in their lives. Participants report heightened awareness of their personal responisibility in their lives and the effect their choices have on themselves, their partners and family, and others around them.
