Why Horses?
Horses are very unique large animals, being animals of prey they have highly evolved senses and respond intuitively to the other. They are non verbal, which makes them sensitive to reading body language and they are even able to sense slight physiological changes within another horse or human. This gives them the unique ability to perceive emotions, which can promote self-awareness, through their immediate feedback.
No horse experience is needed, and anyone can participate. No riding is involved.
Intelligent Prey Animals
To evade predators, horses have evolved to be extremely sensitive to their environment. They instinctively analyze and react to our body language and other nonverbal cues providing us with valuable feedback and insights for other areas of our lives.
Large and Powerful
It's hard to ignore a horse with their size and presence. We can't just control a powerful horse. Approaching horses helps us reflect how we approach our relationships and how we can face other big or overwhelming things in our lives.
Herd Animals with Distinct Personalities
Horses are social animals with defined roles within a herd. They have distinct personalities, attitudes, and moods. They could be stubborn or they could be playful. In other words, horses are a lot like us.
