Horses In Lives works with a herd of around 16 horses.

 

The horses are mixed and matched during sessions to best suit the participant/s needs.

 

Why Horses? ...Because....

 

THEY ARE LARGE AND POWERFUL.

 

THEY HAVE A NATURAL POWER TO

INFLUENCE PEOPLE IN POSITIVE WAYS.

 

THEY PROVIDE A NATURAL OPPORTUNITY FOR SOME TO OVERCOME FEAR AND DEVELOP CONFIDENCE.

 

LIKE HUMANS, THEY ARE SOCIAL

ANIMALS WITH DEFINED ROLES WITHIN THEIR HERDS.

 

THEY HAVE DISTINCT PERSONALITIES,

ATTITUDES AND MOODS.

 

THEY PROVIDE VAST OPPORTUNITIES

FOR METAPHORIC LEARNING.

 

THEY REQUIRE PEOPLE TO BE PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY INVOLVED

WHEN INTERACTING WITH THEM.

 

THEY MIRROR HUMAN BODY LANGUAGE.
