During our equine encounter sessions, you will interact closely with horses on the ground, and will not actually ride a horse. Instead, you will learn the language of the horse, which will help you develop a higher sense of attunement with horses, together with a sense of inner peace and harmony. Horses are like mirrors that reflect our inner emotions, anxiety, and stress. By becoming more aware of what’s going on with your horse, you will become more present, have an increased sense of self-awareness, and ultimately become calmer as you feel stress and anxiety slowly ebb from your body.

What you will learn

• Learn how to read your equine partner’s body language and other subtle signs and signals that horses use to communicate with other horses and with humans. 
• Learn how to start a two-way conversation with your horse, showing that you are listening to what he has to say, understand his concerns, and respect his boundaries. This is the start of a wonderful horse-human relationship built on trust.
• Learn the art of becoming present, to help your horse feel comfortable and relaxed in your presence. Your horse will return the favour, plus some, and you will leave the session feeling super relaxed and destressed. 
• Learn massage techniques to help ease tension in your horse and help him relax. 

Who is this for

Regardless of whether you are an experienced rider, an absolute beginner, or have never interacted with a horse before, we encourage you to come and learn more about horses!
