helps people achieve excellence in all areas of their lives by fostering respect-based partnership with horses.
Equines place emphasis on approach, respect and assertive boundary setting. They also require us to be self-aware and present in the moment. Reading up on these skills is helpful, but applying the acquired knowledge appropriately takes practice. The partnership with the horse provides practice opportunities where the horse gives instant feedback. This feedback shows us in real time how well we understand what we have learned. Additionally, we can learn how to best target & focus our energy as we work to improve our skills.
Recovering from trauma & stress is extremely challenging. Much of the time it can feel like living in survival mode is easier than facing the pain we are carrying. Horses will walk through that pain with us. They stand by our sides while we cry, they give us their shoulder to lean on & their complete acceptance. In experiencing the unconditional love of our horse partners when everything else seems so dark, so difficult & so complicated, we are awakened to our strength, we see a way out of the darkness & we begin to thrive.
