Equine Facilitated Spiritual Care™ (EFSC) is a specific type of spiritual care centered on  equine-facilitated activities that invite a person into connection with divine healing and wisdom.  EFSC is led by a trained equine chaplain, equine professional, and equine. It is a heart-centered practice that seeks to uncover the wisdom of healing in each person through a gentle, trusting relationship with a horse. EFSC works to restore a person’s connection to heart wisdom, or heart-centered experience; this experience reframes their intellect or understanding of the world, thereby guiding their physical interactions and committed action. EFSC can be utilized to address a plethora of spiritual pain, such as moral injury, grief, shame, disconnection from a sense of self, existential angst, anger with God, loss of identity and life purpose, and moral injury. EFSC is a model of care that is a pastorally skilled and clinically informed approach to spiritual care. In an EFSC experience, the equine and chaplain work as partner priests/priestesses connected in a spiritually energetic and organic flow of teamwork. The equine professional serves as a deacon or assistant, there to create a safe container or environment so that the equine and the chaplain can be attuned to the spiritual needs of the experience.
