March 15, 2023 "Study Involving P.A. area horses examines PTSD treatment for emergency responders" A research study is being done in the Prince Albert area trying to determine whether or not horses can help emergency responders managing PTSD.
Cartier Farms has partnered with McMaster University to see if Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) could be a viable treatment to help with symptoms and improve functionality. The goal is to get 80 participants split into four different rounds. They will then be split again with one half getting to experience EAL treatment, while the other half does not. “We’ll figure out if there are differences in those two groups that would suggest that the EAL helped or didn’t help,” said Ashley Williams, postdoctoral fellow with McMaster University’s trauma and recovery unit. |

August 11, 2015 A government funded program in Calgary has put the spotlight on horses helping veterans with PTSD.
Just outside of Prince Albert is the business that trained them, and they are working to help people of every background through the use of horses. Gayle Cartier, owner and lead facilitator of Cartier farms, said their program of equine assisted learning teaches life skills through horses. “It’s definitely the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done,” said Cartier, who was a riding instructor for about 30 years. “When we started developing this program 15 years ago, I felt like I found something that my life had prepared me to do.” “I never find a day where I don’t want to go out into the arena and do equine assisted learning.” |
