Why horses?

No experience with horses is required. Your Equus Coach and equine partner are highly experienced and will help you navigate the entire session, regardless of your experience level. All of the activities take place on the ground in the pasture, round pen, or arena. You will not be riding the horses.

You will be doing activities with the horses that are designed to elicit specific learning objectives or awareness-building. The activities require no specific skills or experience, but all are hands-on and interactive. There is no right or wrong way for the equine coaching experience to play out. Individuals have unique experiences based on their intentions for the session, along with what they are drawn to doing with the horse.

It's not uncommon to be afraid of large animals, and that’s OK! Safety is very important to us, and we’ll start our day with a safety demonstration. We will always go at a pace that is comfortable for you. Even if you decide not to get close to the horses, you may be surprised to find that you still experience the benefits. Physical contact with the horse is optional.

This workshop will be held outside and interactions with the horses are usually in a sandy arena and require some moving around on uneven ground at the stables. Opportunities to sit down are provided. Talk to us if you have questions, concerns or special requirements to consider.

We will be outside for the day, so bring appropriate layers and wear something comfortable.
