Recreational Therapeutic Activities With Horses -
Unmounted
Life Coaching, Mindfulness and Horsemanship Exercises
About the Program
This Program is currently for adult-professionals, in high stress careers,
who could benefit greatly from a therapeutic program, which provides
relaxation and recreation: a chance to de-stress, re-center, find balance,
and re-discover your true self.
This Unmounted Therapeutic Horses Program, strives to reach many of the
same goals as our mounted Therapeutic Riding Programs. With Goals for
improvement and greater enjoyment across all spectrums of your life.
There may be a variety of reasons that have brought you to explore this
alternative therapeutic modality. Regardless of the reason, many of you
already know that horses can help you to heal yourself and to improve your
overall sense of wellness and health, just by being in their presence. What's
more, participating in therapeutic activities with horses, allows you to be
present: you won't be able to check out and get results! Horses have a
unique ability to mirror your emotions and state of being, they also have
the ability to regulate your heart through their presence.
Some of Benefits of this program include:
- Connecting with and Building Trust with Horses
- Building Self-Confidence with Natural Horsemanship Exercises
- Socializing in an accepting and open environment
- Getting exercise on the farm and with program activities
- Being out in nature on our peaceful 48 acre property
- Learning to move a horse with your body language, energy, and intention
- Learning how horses mirror you due to their high number of mirror
neurons
- Relaxing with a variety of heart centered and mindfulness meditations
and visualizations with horses
- Developing and deepening your heart mind connection with horses
- Learning about the energetics of horses and horse communication
Future Plans for the Program -
