What you'll do

An enchanting way to connect with animals and nature through relaxation and meditation techniques. Interact with horses like never before for a truly unforgettable experience.

A typical session would start with a lesson in safety and horse psychology and then grooming, so we can bond with the horses in the same way that they do, followed by some exercises to help you feel still and relaxed. Once still, we’ll wait for the horses to respond. The horses normally get very sleepy and affectionate and choose to be very close to you. Sometimes they like to lie down and sleep or they may just want to touch you in some way. At this point, we deepen our mediation and come into a state of bliss and mental clarity. 

Often, we do a guided meditation or make some intentional physical connections with the horses, such as a heart connection. Sometimes, especially with young people, we play games with the horses, asking them to follow us around obstacles or complete challenges. Through being playful and absorbed, we’ll strive to find our inner children!
