Horse Therapy 4 U
I am often asked, ‘Why Horses?’
Horses are beautiful creatures that live in
the moment. They are tuned in to their
environment with all their senses: sight,
sound, smells and energy. As preyed-
upon animals, they are keenly aware of
their surroundings. To insure survival;
this instinct continues to be a part of
who they are—animals of flight. Horses
need to feel trust and safety; we as
people have the same needs. I allow
clients to just be with a horse; to walk
through their fears and self-doubt. The
client experiences the horse in its natural
(non-riding) state, allowing a deep
connection between client and horse.
I have seen clients transform as a result
of walking through their fears with a
horse.
They gain inner strength, a sense of
safety; and life feels more worthwhile.
Instead of giving up when afraid, I let
clients know that I will not give up on
them.
Using horses in counseling/therapy and
coaching in experiential exercises creates
powerful metaphors. These metaphors
can then be related back to the client’s
life goals, recovery and own self-
awareness.
Horse Therapy 4 U provides a safe
environment for healing in a New Way!
