Horses always love to be greeted by visitors, and after the lesson we invite you to meet them over the fence. But please do not enter the paddock areas where horses are or feed horses any treats without permission.
The Horse Experience $45
These sessions go beyond traditional riding lessons, offering clients the chance to explore horse safety, grooming, and management, while learning to understand how horses communicate. Through these experiences, participants develop a deeper, more meaningful connection with the horse—one that allows them to see the horse’s true spirit. These sessions can be done individually or in groups, such as with family members. Activities during the session focus on teamwork, trust, and building a bond between the horse and the participants. A highlight is working together to guide the horse through challenges like crossing a bridge or backing up through an L-shaped obstacle. These tasks encourage communication and cooperation, not only with the horse but also with each other when done in a group, especially when completing the obstacle course without a halter or lead rope.
In addition, many clients have reported significant increase in physical and emotional awareness as a result of their engagement in horse activities. The process can be transformative, leading to heightened self-confidence and a deeper understanding of personal strengths. Horses are renowned for their ability to reflect human emotions, providing insights into participants' inner selves. As clients spend time with these magnificent animals, they often discover new perspectives about themselves and their abilities.
Equine Guide Education Session $45
In an Equine Guide Education (EGE) session, clients engage directly with a horse in a structured, safe environment. Each participant is asked to arrive with a specific intention or question that they seek to explore. The session takes place within a round pen, where the horse acts as a reflective mirror, responding to the client's energy, intention, and behaviors.
As the interaction unfolds, the certified facilitator observes and interprets the horse's body language and behaviors, providing insights into the dynamics at play. This feedback serves as a powerful tool for self-discovery. The certified EGE facilitator guides the client through a series of questions, encouraging the client to reflect and derive their own solutions or insights related to their original intention.
Through this process, clients gain clarity on how they present themselves in various aspects of their lives. The horse’s responses can help illuminate underlying patterns or obstacles, allowing clients to identify steps toward feeling more aligned and unstuck. This unique experience fosters personal growth, emotional awareness, and a deeper connection to oneself in a meaningful and transformative way. And don’t be surprised if you get an answer to your question you presented to the horse.
