All horses and other equines are sentient beings with feelings, thoughts, emotions, memories, and empathetic abilities. At our farm, our horses are active partners which can evoke emotions in humans who work with and around them. It is imperative that all sessions are conducted to be mutually beneficial for all parties especially our horse partners).

Horses make great partners because they can mirror and respond to human behavior. Being that they are a herd animal, they rely on an acute stream of sensory data to sense safety or danger; and amazingly, they can hear the human heartbeat within four feet. Research on heart-rate variability indicates that horses have a profound ability to synchronize their own heartbeat with that of human beings. It is imperative that all sessions are conducted to be mutually beneficial for all parties especially our horse partners).

Allow yourself to experience all the relaxing sounds around horses from the sounds of their hooves to their nicker. These experiences with horses will allow you to enter the mystical and healing world of horses. These amazing creatures are non-judgemental and unbiased and they can make you more aware of yourself as they have the tendency to mirror your behaviour, physical movements and emotions.

Humans can really benefit from horses’ sentience:

• By experiencing a sense of calm and peace with a lower heart rate and improved breathing especially if you have PTSD, anxiety or depression
• By learning to be able to calm down and breath in a stressed environment
• By learning to improve our own senses and to interpret what we sense in our personal and professional lives
• By learning to develop a sense of belonging in the community especially if our lifestyle is full of stress
• By helping us to commit to a path of personal development through truth-telling
• By exerting their mysticism, beauty and power to help us step forward and claim them based on our imagination

Being among horses will allow you to ‘feel connected with yourself’.
