Equine Inspired Wellness

What is equine inspired wellness? Equine inspired wellness activities focus on intellectual versus physical horsemanship skills. Therefore, equine inspired wellness activities are non-mounted taking place on the ground. 

Did you know that humans and horses share a universal characteristic from the time we are born?  We all demonstrate body language based on our true authentic feelings.  Most of the time this is unconscious to us.  However, equine are prey animals demonstrating a heightened sense of awareness among their environment and inside the herd. Horses read and interpret nonverbal language. Like the saying goes, “actions speak louder than words”. The synergy created through the horse to human connection awakens our consciousness, creating clarity and awareness with a path for new direction.  

Why do I believe in equine inspired wellness? Perhaps you have been intrigued as to how horses help heal people?  How are horses different than traditional therapies? Sometimes we crave space to handle issues on our own, at our pace, in a safe environment without vocalizing our innermost troubles or concerns.  Maybe you fear being judged or labeled. However, when you resist your feelings the issues or emotions persist. Horses bring light into the areas of your life that need healing, clarity and empowerment.  A horse meets you in the present moment, there is no knowledge or judgment of your past.  Horses are ready to offer you an awareness of consciousness that will surface with grace and unspoken words. Self-discovery occurs much quicker due to the experiential experience. This transformation is a turning point for clients.

My Personal Equine Experience

I was in dire need of self-care and was able to attend my first Equine Intensive that promoted well-being. I liked that nobody at the farm knew me or my struggle. I did not have to share my story with the horses, they felt my soul, read my body language and breathed life into me. The retreat was like nothing I had ever experienced. How did this 1200-pound horse communicate my energy and show me my patterns of behavior? The equine learning experience revealed exactly what was happening in my life! My conscious was awakened and I had a chance to redirect my path. My weekend retreat was life changing, unlike any other course or therapy I had known. My partner was the horse, my confidant, my interpreter. I was stretched beyond my comfort zone and experienced empowerment of setting boundaries. By the last day, I felt an emotion cleanse. This was a turning point, I was getting stronger, I understood heightened awareness and I learned to trust my intuition again.
