In addition, we ensure that participants understand horses, their nature, and how to stay safe while engaging with them.

CONNECTION SESSIONS

 

This program offers a rare blend of taking time to simply “BE” and also taking time to reflect in a peaceful setting. Connection Sessions help individuals explore and expand their intuition and self-awareness while developing greater emotional intelligence.  Horses mirror us, thus reflecting back everything we need to see about ourselves. Sometimes the mirror shines our greatness, peace, and joy, whereas other times a shadow is reflected back revealing the hurting places within us. In this safe environment, we can face our brokenness without judgment and find healing.  Merely being in the presence of a horse is inspiring and transformative. Connection Sessions can significantly lower your stress levels and balance your blood pressure as you connect with horses in an enriching and meaningful way.

SURVIVOR'S STRENGTHEN & STRESS RELEASE SESSIONS

 

The Survivor’s Strengthening and Stress Releasing Sessions are designed specifically for those recovering from Breast Cancer. Grooming horses promotes circulation, enabling any tight muscles to release and bring new strength and flexibility. After surgery, breast cancer survivors often develop neck and shoulder impingement causing achiness in the neck and shoulders. The goal is to provide physical relief as well as emotional release in a peaceful environment.

MILITARY VETERANS

 

Military Veterans will work with Equine Assisted Coaches to acquire new ways of coping with anxiety and stress.  As prey animals, horses are highly sensitive to emotions and the messages behind them. Through observing how horses relate to one another and then interacting with the horses themselves, participants learn to ask for space, set healthy boundaries, lead without force, relax without losing awareness and rebuild trust. 

Equine Assisted Coaching allows veterans to successfully transition into civilian life. ‘Breakthroughs’ occur more easily and organically than traditional coaching methods as horses do not judge people…and they have no agenda. Veterans are welcome to bring their therapist to participate in the EAC Session.

GROUP AND CORPORATE COACHING

 

Equine Assisted Coaching transforms the human heart and spirit. Horses are very “present” beings, meaning that they do not focus so much on the past or the future, but live in the moment. They are the perfect animal to help leaders and teams develop presence, self-confidence and awareness. The Group sessions can really break through team deficiencies and create better team work and understanding of one another.

EQUINE ASSISTED COACHING WITH YOUR THERAPIST

 

A therapist can be on hand and work alongside the Equine Assisted Coach or an Equine Specialist to guide the client through their emotions and to partner with the horses as emotional surrogates. The equine coach will partner with the therapist and let them know what they see the horse communicating about the session. Horses mirror us and can show us what is really going on inside, even when we don't. These sessions typically last for 1 ½ hours. 
Each session is customized to meet the specific needs of each individual. 

MEDITATION AND MINDFULNES PROGRAMS

 

Individuals can also sign up for our meditation and mindfulness programs, which is a series of classes on stress relief techniques. Once someone has enrolled in the program, their needs will be assessed and they can schedule all of their classes from available times. Each class lasts approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour. The cost of each service is determined by the instructor or speaker.
