Equine Facilitated Services

​I provide equine facilitated coaching and equine facilitated learning opportunities with my team Spirit and Tommy.

​

Including horse wisdom in my coaching sessions has proved beneficial to children, teenagers and adults particularly those with social and emotional challenges. Horses can engage clients, verbal and  non verbal,  in a deeper coaching experience.

​

Learning to recognise and identify horse signals and body language leads to a client developing her/ his personal sense of safety. It increases their self awareness as well as providing an opportunity to enhance interpersonal skills. 

​

Equine facilitated learning sessions can be tailored to individual needs or a group scenario. There is no riding or tack required. All health and safety considerations are in place. The natural qualities and behaviour of horses will allow for very rich reflective and experiential learning for each client. 

 

Activities can be designed to target a specific area of well-being such as self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills and responsible decision making. It involves observing the horse's reactions and behaviour in his natural setting.

 

Equine facilitated learning opportunities include grooming, observing the horses being brought in and out of the fields, preparing feeds, mucking out stables and other duties associated with the care and welfare of horses. Fostering an understanding and awareness of the needs of horses can lead to better teamwork and greater consideration for others.
