The Equine Therapists
WHY DO WE WORK WITH HORSES?
Horses are majestic animals who respond in the moment. They are honest and never hide how they feel, giving immediate, non-judgemental feedback to the energies, behaviours and emotions around them.
They are unique with each horse having his/her own personality, likes/dislikes, behaviours, strengths, quirks and vulnerabilities. They are prey and herd animals which means they are highly aware of everything that is going on around them, on a physical and energetic level. They are highly social and empathic, relying on their herd for safety, comfort, play, interaction and survival.
Because of all of the above characteristics, horses can teach us humans about ourselves – about how we interact with others and the environment, how we behave within relationships and about deeper belief patterns and attitudes we may hold – by responding to our attitudes, behaviours, feelings and energy. Horses can lead us into connection, learning and growth.
CONNECT. LEARN. GROW.
