Why Horses?

The #1 reason we use horses in this program is because they are a prey animal. Horses do not judge. Horses do not lie. Horses are extremely intuitive. Horses consistently react to stimulus provided by participants. Some of the joys associated with working around horses are – they don’t judge, but they constantly assess. Their feedback is honest and instant. Learning to listen to what horses have to say is powerful and can sometimes spur the answer to individual change. By including horses in specially designed educational exercises, equine assisted learning facilitators have the ability to help participants on their path to self-discovery, self-awareness and inner confidence.
