Equine-Assisted Programs

• Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy (TF-EAP): A trauma-focused therapy using horse interaction to promote deep emotional healing, trust, and connection—especially for youth survivors.
• Equine-Assisted Learning (EAL): A hands-on, experiential program that teaches life skills, builds confidence, and supports emotional regulation through guided activities with horses.

• FBEAP (Faith-Based Equine-Assisted Philosophy) is grounded in biblical teachings, drawing parallels between the two to facilitate spiritual and emotional healing in individuals.

Biblical Foundations in Equine Programs

The core of FBEAP is rooted in Christian principles, specifically the transformative power of the Holy Spirit and the teachings of the Bible. The process focuses on:

• Exposing unhealthy thought patterns reflects the biblical call for self-examination, as seen in verses like Romans 12:2, which encourages renewing the mind to align with God’s will.
• Replacing with healthy, Biblical thought patterns: This echoes the idea that God’s truth brings healing and freedom (John 8:32). By adopting Biblical principles, individuals are set free to live the life God intended for them, filled with peace, purpose, and direction.

 This approach is designed to guide individuals away from damaging patterns of thinking and behavior, replacing them with biblically-based truths and spirit-led freedom, helping people step into the life God has called them to live.

Innocence Freed is the only program in Nebraska offering Equine-Assisted Learning at no cost, built on a Christ-centered equine philosophy specifically designed for survivors of trafficking and sexual exploitation. Unlike other models that outsource equine services, our sessions are an integral part of the Innocence Freed program and are conducted at a private property, ensuring a safe, compassionate environment without the risk of exposure to unvetted individuals.

Our program aims to create a safe, supportive, and therapeutic environment where individuals can receive the care they need to achieve lasting recovery and mental wellness.

We offer flexible support for students and working survivors by:

• Extending hours & drop-in availability
• Offering childcare during groups
• Meal planning, errands, and wellness activities
• Social engagement and peer connection
