Meet our therapeutic herd, from big to little, each a teacher and co-facilitator in the work.

Horses as Co-Facilitators
Horses reflect what we bring.
In their presence, it becomes easier to return to yourself.
Pip
Quiet and sensitive, she invites you to find softness and steadiness in yourself before she comes close.
Recruit
An older gentleman who shows the power of simply being present, with no need to do much at all.
Annie
A lover of scratches who gently tests boundaries and invites clear, kind communication.
Rosy
The quiet matriarch, steady and watchful, holding the herd with calm certainty.
Barney
Young, bright and playful, often lifting the energy when you need a little lightness.
Poppet
Our eldest and our mischief maker, forever tempting the others into play and joy.
Treacle
Friendly, confident and resilient, she is a reminder that strength can be soft.
Winnie
Small but mighty, bold-hearted and full of sparkle, she reminds you not to underestimate what is possible.
Working with the herd
We work with the horses as co-facilitators and partners, each bringing their own presence to the process. The pace is guided by safety, consent and what unfolds between us on the day.
Horses are highly attuned to breath, posture, tension and intention. Their responses are not judgement, they are information. In their presence, many people begin to notice their own nervous system more clearly and how it is expressed through their body.
This work is not about arriving calm or “getting it right.” A horse may respond differently to what your body is communicating than to what your words are saying. That space, between what we intend and what we embody, is often where the learning begins.
Because horses respond to embodied signals rather than words, the work often unfolds before anything needs to be explained.
Horse welfare is central to everything we do. Sessions are designed with choice and liberty, allowing a horse to step away, stay at a distance, or engage.
Sometimes we work quietly through observation. Sometimes we explore gentle, ground-based relational exercises. Sometimes we meet the herd in the field.
We always return to the body, grounding, sensing and coming back to yourself, because relationship begins there.
