Equine Supported Coaching

Equine Supported Coaching involves interactions between humans and horses while building life skills in a nature based, non-judgemental and safe environment. Horses are highly intuitive animals and respond to human interactions immediately. This offers our participants immediate feedback for skill development and creates opportunities for personal growth through hands-on activities. Horses have an incredible ability to mirror human emotions and behaviours, allowing young people to explore their strengths, communication skills, boundaries and social skills while in session. Throughout sessions, participants will be able to interact and observe the herd, participate in experiential activities and experience connection with the animals at their own pace. Sessions will be run through ground work activities, there is no riding available.
