Wyatt Webb's equine therapy is a draw for many people at Miraval. It's been featured in numerous media outlets and I'd be surprised if there isn't a book in your room about it. I suppose they figure that anyone who shows up to one of the classes knows what they are in for. No doubt your husband was quite surprised.
It's not my thing, either, but I did encounter other guests at Miraval who were there to deal with trauma or other emotional issues who found the equine therapy programs extremely useful.
