HIPAA Compliant
AI Medical Scribe for
Equine Therapists
Your sessions happen in an arena, not at a desk. Medical Scribe captures what unfolded between client and horse — and drafts your session note before you've finished untacking.
Sample note
What your notes will look like
A real example of the documentation Medical Scribe generates for equine therapists — ready before your patient leaves the room.
Session Details
60-minute equine-assisted psychotherapy session, outdoor arena. Session 6. Therapy horse: Banjo.
Subjective
15F referred for generalized anxiety. Reports 'a better week' — used the breathing exercise before a school exam and got through it. Expressed nervousness about starting liberty groundwork today.
Objective
- Approached Banjo confidently; maintained slow, regulated breathing during grooming
- Led figure-eight pattern at liberty; horse stayed engaged and connected
- Verbalized noticing tension in her shoulders and self-corrected without prompting
- Affect brighter than session 5; sustained eye contact during debrief
Assessment
Growing distress tolerance and self-regulation. Client is transferring arousal-awareness skills from arena work to school settings. Engagement with the horse increasingly used as real-time biofeedback. No safety concerns this session.
Plan
Continue weekly sessions. Introduce obstacle work with Banjo next session to practice frustration tolerance. Home practice: two body-scan check-ins daily. Next session scheduled.
Illustrative example. Every note is fully editable, and you control the format — SOAP, DAP, or your own custom template.
The arena is no place for a clipboard
Your attention is split three ways
You're tracking the client, reading the horse, and managing safety all at once. Pausing to write notes mid-session isn't just impractical — it breaks the work.
Barn-to-desk documentation lag
Session notes written that evening, from memory, lose the moment-by-moment detail — what the client noticed, how the horse responded, where the breakthrough happened.
Referrers and funders want clinical notes
Equine-assisted therapy is often delivered under a mental health plan or third-party funding. Progress has to be documented as rigorously as any office-based therapy.

Documentation that works where you work
Equine-assisted sessions move — grooming at the hitching rail, groundwork in the arena, debriefs on the mounting block. Medical Scribe records from your phone or Apple Watch wherever the work happens, then drafts the session note so nothing depends on what you can remember at your desk that night.
The whole session, in the right structure
The built-in Equine Therapist’s Note captures Session Details like duration, setting, and therapy type, then Subjective, Objective, Assessment, and Plan — the client’s report, your observations of client and horse, your clinical interpretation, and next steps including assigned practice. Psychology Progress Note and Mental Health Care Plan templates are built in for plan-linked clients.
Notes that make the case for the work
Equine-assisted therapy still has to prove itself to referrers and funders, and thin notes don’t help. Medical Scribe documents what the client actually said and did in the session — never inventing observations — so your records show measurable therapeutic progress in language any clinical reviewer recognizes.
Frequently asked questions
Can I record hands-free while I'm working in the arena?
Yes. Medical Scribe runs on iOS, Android, and Apple Watch, so you can record the session or dictate your recap on the walk back to the barn — no clipboard, no typing between clients.
Does the note fit how equine-assisted sessions actually run?
Yes. The built-in Equine Therapist's Note includes Session Details — duration, setting, therapy type — plus Subjective, Objective, Assessment, and Plan, so the arena context and the clinical content both get captured.
My clients are referred under mental health plans. Does it cover that documentation?
Alongside the Equine Therapist's Note there are built-in Psychology Progress Note and Mental Health Care Plan templates with risk assessment and review sections, so your records meet what referrers and funders expect.
Is a session recorded outdoors still confidential?
Yes. Sessions with human clients are protected health information, and Medical Scribe is HIPAA compliant with encryption in transit and at rest. You review and sign every note, and clients can consent just as with any recording.
