Why work with horses?

Horses value and respond to authentic connections, so we are encouraged to feel safe and embrace all of who we are in their presence. Horses are naturally grounded, aware, and connected; being around them encourages us to be the same.  They value trusting relationships with their herd, which can include the people around them. They have an amazing ability to tune into people’s feelings and they respond my mirroring this either singly or within the herd.

Horses provide space for us to be in line with our true natures and allow us to try new ways of being without judgement or prejudice.  They offer unbiased, effective, and immediate feedback to us in response to our behaviours and our choices.

Horses are experts at reading body language and perceiving human emotions and, therefore, respond to each of us as unique individuals. This special relationship provides an opportune setting for people to learn more about themselves and their patterns in the relationships they form.

The nonverbal experience with the horses means that working with them is experiential, creative, and ultimately unique.
