The Foundations and APPROACH of Healing Horse Sanctuary

Why Horses?

There are several reasons why horses are highly effective teachers. Horses are extremely sensitive and intuitive beings, due to their instinctive nature as prey and herd animal. Their communication is mostly non-verbal in the form of body language, gestures and movements that are visually apparent. However, a significant portion of this non-verbal communication is in the form of energy.  Thoughts, feelings and emotions emit energy, or 'vibes' as some call it, and these vibes are not only scientifically measurable, they are detected and interpreted by horses as information. They are able detect human emotions, even those emotions that may be suppressed in our subconscious. Horses respond to, process and reflect to us the energy we are putting out based on our emotions in the present moment. Horses teach us to use emotions as information, to effectively and to efficiently process and deal with them in a healthy manner.  They mirror us and what we are truly communicating, which can often starkly contrast what we think we are communicating.  Through interactions with horses, people can gain awareness and insight into patterns and develop strategies on how to be more congruent. 

MORE ABOUT OUR APPROACH

Equine Guided Learning (EGL)

What is EGL?

Equine Guided Learning is a form of experiential learning in which participants partner with horses for personal growth and healing. This form of learning occurs on the ground through a variety of activities with the horses that does not include riding. There are many different types of learning opportunities and therapies involving horses. EGL is very therapeutic and fosters healing but is not considered therapy. It is a form of coaching where we partner with horses that focuses on personal awareness and self reflection in the moment.

Adventure into the world of self discovery, personal growth and healing through Equine Guided Learning (EGL). The power of the human-horse connection shows us new perspectives to become more self aware and present. Learn more about your non-verbal cues, unconscious behavior patterns and how actions can be more powerful than words. Horses instinctively mirror and reflect our true emotions, behaviors and intentions. EGL offers the opportunity to connect with our Authentic Self.

All activities are done from the ground and can inspire us to make positive connections and develop awareness no matter what your experience is.

  • “I spent three hours with horses today! I attended an equine workshop that showed us how in tune horses are with humans and how sensitive they are to our internal struggles. Snickers helped me to realize today that while I often think I am self-aware, I am not. He opened my eyes to the conflict that is brewing inside me. I felt so much better after working with the horses.”
