In an era where emotional distress is considered “all in the mind” and talk therapy the gold standard treatment, we risk overlooking the role of the body – our own, our clients, and the interactions between the two – in the therapeutic relationship.

Horses are highly sensitive to human physiology and non-verbal communication and provide immediate, non-judgemental feedback. Interacting with them is like holding up a mirror and seeing our innermost thoughts, feelings and tensions reflected back. Working alongside horses can therefore bring about a deeper understanding of your impact on clients and their impact on you, enabling greater agency over your wellbeing, to maximise your effectiveness and minimise burnout.
