HORSE SENSE

Why Choose This Workshop:

Our Equine-assisted workshops feature insightful approaches that benefit all ages with varying needs. Equine therapy is often compared to a ropes course in that it brings self-awareness, others’ awareness, collaboration, stress management and the hope for change. It helps everything from anxiety, addiction and autism to family dynamics, managing emotions and trauma related issues. Follow us to see the upcoming workshops on these various topics.

The Horsepower for Healing 2-Day Workshop will give you the tools you need to overcome anxiety and increase self- awareness. It can be overwhelming to bring new strategies into your relationship with yourself and others. Equine therapy gives you the opportunity to try new communication methods with a partner without an agenda.

What To Expect:

To learn new techniques for conquering your anxiety, you’ll get to practice these new anxiety-busting techniques during meaningful and purposeful sessions with our horses. Working with horses will help you identify patterns, integrate emotions, and find a sense of wholeness and peace.

Why Horses:

Horses are extremely aware of their environment and have a closely attuned sense of a person’s intentions and feelings. In short, horses can read people like a book! Horses are flight animals with a heightened awareness and ability to read body language. Their ability to mirror our own emotions rapidly increases personal insight.

Horses have incredible hearing and can hear the heartbeat of a human from four feet away. That is part of the reason horses are so capable of reading people. Often, a horse’s heart rate will even synchronize with the participant working with them.

In studies, equine-assisted therapy has provided a 95% success rate in improving participants’ overall sense of well- being.
