Intelligent

To survive predators, horses have evolved to be extremely sensitive to their environments.

They instinctively analyse and react to our body language and other non-verbal cues providing us with valuable feedback and insights for other areas of our lives.

Large & Powerful

Horses often large in size and powerful in presence, and at times we are unable to control such powerful animals.

Approaching horses helps us reflect how we approach our relationships and how we can face other big or overwhelming things in our lives.

Personalities

Horses are social animals with defined roles within a herd. They have distinct personalities, attitudes and moods.

They could be stubborn, or they could be playful. In other words, horses are a lot like us.

WHO IS THIS FOR?

Health and Wellness

Generally seeking to improve your health & wellbeing: you will experience a deeper connection through mindfulness in nature with support of herd healing.

Healing Journey

Our herd allows you to deepen your understanding of depression, anxiety, addiction, grief & loss, separation, life transitions, relationships, behavioural problems and life stage adjustment through inclusive social connection.

Leadership

Our herd supports leadership skills and improves your understanding through self-reflection on and around assertiveness, creative thinking, understanding others, teamwork, empathy, emotional intelligence, confidence, relationship building, and controlling or releasing of emotions.

Young People

Children & teenagers often find therapy difficult to engage, becoming part of a herd is much more authentic, less intimidating and allows them to be supported through non-verbal communication and sensory awareness for difficulties around assertiveness, confidence, developing and maintaining relationships, emotional awareness, empathy, impulse control, problem solving skills, social skills, trust in others and trust in self.

YOUR JOURNEY

Stories are a foundational means of human communication which has existed across time and cultures, providing meaning to our lives and relationships.

They help us create ways to makes sense of our lives and changes happen organically as we work through our story.

Our herd can spark curiosity around what your strengths are, allowing us time to reflect and consider what our next steps might look like.

WHY CONSIDER THIS?

Sensitivity

Higly attuned animals offer safe reflection and compelling feedback for fears & anxieties faced by people. In the hands of a treatment team and the horses unique sensitivity can help you to understand your internal processes more readily than hours of talk therapy.

Observation

Observing the dynamics of a herd of horses can help clients better understand the dynamics of their own family and provide positive reflection for fostering collaboration, support and trust. The herd provide an emotionally safe way to work through & strengthen relationships in life - whether it be with others, our environment or beliefs.

Experential

Our herd provides instant feedback involving frustration, high stress and relationship problems, removing much of the stigma associated with talk therapy.
