Horse Wisdom Program®
The Horse Wisdom Program® is a group equine assisted learning (EAL) program that provides participants with psycho-education and experiential learning opportunities based on horse behaviour, expression, and instinctual knowing.
Topics include:
Regulation and grounding in nature
Present moment self awareness
Safe spatial, touch and verbal boundaries
Healthy relationships
Helpful thoughts and thinking
Feelings as information
Building self worth
Facing life’s challenges
The program includes a variety of interactions with horses, such as meeting at liberty (un-haltered), observing the herd, touching, grooming and leading the horse, and creative experiential exercises like building an obstacle course to represent and emotional state.
Benefits for participants may include awareness of the dysregulated state plus strategies and resources to support regulation, heightened empathy and improved relationship skills, the opportunity to experience a "safe" relationship, and an increase in self-confidence. Of course, we also aim for participants to have an interactive and enjoyable experience.
A compilation of studies exploring the benefits of equine-assisted therapy can be found here.
