Healing with Horses
Come Back to Yourself With Horses Beside You
Sometimes the world moves too fast, and our bodies carry more than they were meant to. This one-day healing workshop is a chance to slow down, breathe deep, and reconnect with the land, with yourself, and with the quiet presence of horses.
Through gentle, guided experiences alongside our horses, we’ll explore how to notice what’s going on inside, regulate our nervous systems, and find steady ground again, not through words, but through presence.
No horse experience needed. Just come as you are.
What You’ll Experience:
Grounding into the present
Settle into a calm space where you can breathe, feel, and let go.Horse-led connection
Be with horses in a way that’s natural, respectful, and healing no pressure to ride, just to be. Observe how your body responds as you step into shared space.Body scan and awareness practice
After connecting with the horse, we guide you through a full-body check-in noticing shifts in breath, tension, and energy, and gently naming what’s changed.Nervous system tools
Learn simple strategies to recognise when you’re in fight, flight, or freeze — and ways to return to calm.Gentle interaction
Grooming, breathing, and standing with the herd, connection through quiet presence and consent.Reflective space
Time to journal, share if you wish, and simply be in a space that honours rest and reconnection.
