LIFE LESSONS WITH HORSES
“IT’S NOT ABOUT RIDING“
Equine Experiential education
Wanna know how spending time with horses can change your life?
We believe horses have the power to change your life. The lessons you’ll learn will rival any you’ve gained from another human. Horses can challenge your attitudes, beliefs and behaviors immediately , in the first interaction, without judgment or criticism and without words!
This is an experiential education program in which you will learn more about yourself and your life (personal and professional) by engaging in simple activities with SAFE, gentle horses. It will allow you to see how you react & respond to an experience in real time, true to your nature, beliefs and perspectives, with the horses giving you immediate feedback
You’ll join us in a pasture or arena (there is NO RIDING involved) where you’ll get to practice improving your current life skills and learn new ones that will make all aspects of your life richer, fuller and more meaningful. Skills like communicating more effectively, improving your problem solving skills or learning to be more assertive.
We create unique, enjoyable experiences with horses that allow you to discover your true self and develop positive change in all areas of your life!

Horses make perfect teachers…
Horses can sense when you’re hesitant and unsure OR confident and clear in your intention, or when you’re holding back, always second guessing yourself. They can also sense your great capacity for love, joy and creativity & will welcome you with an open heart. They sense a change in your attitude and approach when it happens in your body, before your mind has put it into words.
Why? Because their life depends on it! Horses are experts at reading…body language and express themselves with honest immediate feedback through their own body. You’ll learn from them exactly what you are doing every moment of your life, and how to change it when you discover it doesn’t work! All without judgment or criticism.
…safe, gentle and experienced!
