Why horses?

Horses have sensitive autonomic nervous systems and a natural desire to seek connection. They offer us opportunities to learn vital skills like listening and being present, clear, honest and aware of what’s happening in our bodies and minds.

As our skills improve, horses feel safe in our presence and trust us. And the lessons we learn in the herd can help us thrive in our relationships and daily lives.

A growing body of scientific research supports the physiological and psychological benefits of working with horses.
