Horses and Humans Research Foundation | Equine Assisted Therapy Explained | Interview with Pebbles Turbeville

Equine assisted therapy is transforming how we approach emotional, mental, and physical wellness—but it wasn’t always taken seriously. The Horses and Humans Research Foundation (HHRF) is changing that by scientifically documenting the benefits of horse-assisted interventions and validating their effectiveness for a wide range of conditions. In this episode of Conversations Beyond the Barn, host Fran Severn interviews Pebbles Turbeville, CEO of HHRF, about the foundation’s groundbreaking work. They discuss how research is expanding understanding of equine therapy, its impact on mental health, physical rehabilitation, and why horses are such powerful partners in healing.
