Horses communicate primarily through body language. They must be intensely aware of the actions and behaviours of others. Their characteristics of universal awareness, and dependence on non-verbal communication, are very different from those of human beings. However; they are also the characteristics that give horses the unique ability to help us truly see ourselves from the inside out.

 

The number one thing a horse must feel is safe, they are extremely sensitive to how we move, our behaviour, and our emotions. This sensitivity can predict how horses respond to people and how they will react to different stimuli.

 

Horses understand how to differentiate between potentially threatening behaviour and a calm, or assertive nature. Our programs are objectively driven to help participants modify their behaviour, overcome challenges to achieve positive outcomes, and learn skills that will help them in their everyday life.
