The COVID-19 Pandemic challenged EAD to rethink how people could still benefit from equine therapy, even during lockdown. Just as a herd of horses adapts to changes in their environment, the humans at EAD adapted to the community's needs under unique conditions.

​

In 2020, the newly created "Real Happiness" Mobile Horse Therapy Unit adapted EAD's in-person, hands-on model at a farm to bring its horses directly to the people at residential facilities. Though direct contact had to wait until conditions improved, the visits' impact on residents was immediate. The Real Happiness Mobile Unit was so successful that it became a permanent fixture in EAD services. 

​

Since its inception, various members of EAD's horse and goat herd have continued - and expanded - their visits. Book the mobile unit for residential facilities, businesses, non-profits, schools, churches, community events, corporate events, personal visits, and more. Pricing is determined based on location, time needed, and request type. Let our horses bring joy to you!
